[O-0356] Introducing The Multi-Functional ADL Evaluation Chart
Mental, Emotional, Physical and Social functions
Keywords:ADL, Multi-Function, Evaluation
【Purpose】There were many kinds of ADL measurement tools. Most all of them mainly focused on physical function. Physical function and ADL have many similarities but are not synonymous. When Physiotherapists asses their client’s goal, they have to evaluate not only physical aspect but various aspects of client’s life. Dillen et al（1989）described function as human performance in all aspects of life. They subdivided function into four separate components：Mental, Emotional, Physical and Social. The Multi-Functional ADL Evaluation Chart based on the Dillen concept. In this chart mental function deals with intellectual, cognitive and neuropsychological ability, like hemi-neglect, anosognosia. Emotional function is affect and effectiveness in psychologically coping with life stress, like anxiety and depression. Physical function deals with sensory-motor tasks. Social function is the ability to perform social roles and maintain human relationships. The chart contains six items of basic mobility, five items of self care, four items of indoor ADLs, and six items of outdoor ADLs.
The purpose of this presentation is to show a newly made Multi Functional ADL Evaluation Chart from the concept of Dillen’s concept.
