functional disability

Functional disability refers to difficulties a person may experience in performing everyday activities necessary for daily life, such as walking, dressing, or handling household tasks. It results from physical, mental, or emotional impairments that limit their ability to function normally. This condition can range from mild to severe and may be temporary or long-lasting. Functional disability impacts an individual's independence and quality of life but does not necessarily mean they have a medical disease; rather, it reflects how their condition affects their ability to perform routine activities.
