functional limitations

Functional limitations refer to difficulties a person may experience in performing everyday tasks or activities due to a health condition or injury. These limitations can affect physical abilities, such as walking or lifting, or mental processes, like concentration or memory. They don’t necessarily mean a person cannot do anything, but that their ability to do certain tasks might be reduced or require adjustments. Recognizing these limitations helps in designing appropriate support, accommodations, or treatments to improve the individual’s quality of life and independence.
