Functional Outcome Measures

Functional outcome measures are tools used by healthcare professionals to assess a person's ability to perform daily activities and tasks after an illness, injury, or treatment. They help determine how well someone can walk, move, communicate, or complete routine tasks, providing a clear picture of their recovery and independence. These measures guide treatment plans and track progress over time, ensuring that interventions are effective. Essentially, they quantify a person's functional abilities to support personalized healthcare decisions.
