The Rehabilitation Activities Profile (RAP) is an ICIDH-based assessment method that covers the domains of communication, mobility, personal care, occupation, and relationships. Disabilities and handicaps in these domains are assessed on four-point Likert scales for severity. Problems perceived by the patient associated with these disabilities or handicaps are also assessed on four-point Likert scales for severity. High scores on perceived problems represent a patient's priorities. Information is gathered through a semi-structured interview with the patient; proxies and observations can be used as additional sources of information. Assessment can be performed at two levels. The first level is a global one, serving as a screening device. If disabilities or handicaps are identified, the second level provides for an in-depth assessment of those specific disabilities and handicaps as well as the related perceived problems. The method is designed to assist screening, goal-setting, and outcome evaluation of individual patients.
