ADA--manual tasks--major life activity

Article Abstract:

In the case Toyota Motor Manufacturing v. Ella Williams, at issue is the performance of manual tasks. The court noted that prior to the inability to perform manual tasks can be viewed as an inability to perform (or considerable limitation in the performance of) a major life activity within the definition of disability for purposes of the Americans with Disabilities Act, an individual is required to have an impairment that "prevents or severely restricts the individual from doing activities that are of central important to most people's daily lives" and the effect of said impairments have to be "permanent or long-term."
