Suffolk ADL Index

for those of you who are looking for an ADL Outcome Measure.  Have a look at this.  It was made by A. Magpantay in 2012.

Here are some information about it.

2. It uses Baseline Score so every individual would have their individual ceiling of performance and this is where improvements will be based

6. It can easily be communicated to any other team/discipline
