introduction

functional assessment measures the patient's level of independence in performing activities of daily living (adls). this information is important to help understand patient limitations and rehabilitation needs; thus help to create a practical rehabilitation plan. assessment of adls can be processed by meeting basic requirements, such as toileting, feeding, dressing, grooming, physical ambulation and bathing. functional assessment that identifying disabilities and impairments can help to identify areas of functioning that could improve by intervention (eliopoulos, 2005). two functional assessment tools,physical self-maintenance scale (psms) activities of daily living developed by pfizer canada inc. (1999a) and functional activities questionnaire (faq) developed by pfizer canada inc. (1999b) are used in my functional assessment. based on the data collected and tool scores, the functional status and level of independence of my client are assessed.

assessment

my client is, xx (for the confidential purpose, i use his initial here), 85- year old. according to my assessment tools, psms, i found my client, xx, is unable to go to toilet independently; and he needs one person transfer with commode or wheelchair because of his muscle weakness. the only assistance in his meal is to open the milk for him. he does not need feeding, he needs minor assistance in wearing upper clothes, but needs moderate assistance in putting on pants because his upper limbs moves well and lower limbs cannot move well. he can wash his front but unable to wash his back. he needs help getting in and out of wheelchair.
