It is imperative to have an accurate understanding of the injury’s impact on a person’s ability to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Assessment of ADLs and IADLs should include standardized measures, combined with clinical observation. This information is then interpreted within the context of a person’s environment, personal traits, habits, routines, values, and motor and processing skills to provide a wholistic assessment.
