AnnotationActivities of daily living (ADL) status has been used within the rehabilitative and long-term care arenas as a synonym for physical function or performance. This article focuses on ADL elements to assess how these elements can be measured, and how performance levels on these measures are distributed within the nursing home population. Major ADL performance and information-based measures, as well as measures based upon task segmentation are described. Design issues relevant to ADL coding systems and the reliability and validity of these measures are discussed. (RH).
