Functio laesa is a term used in medicine to refer to a loss of function[1][2] or a disturbance of function.[3]

It was identified as the fifth sign of acute inflammation by Galen,[4] who added it to the four signs identified by Celsus (tumor, rubor, calor, and dolor).

The attribution to Galen is not undisputed.[3] Origination of the phrase has also been ascribed to Thomas Sydenham[5] and Rudolf Virchow.[6]
