Definition of Activities of daily living (ADLs)


Activities of daily living (ADLs): The things we
normally do in daily living including any daily activity we perform for self-care (such as
feeding ourselves, bathing, dressing, grooming), work, homemaking, and leisure. The
ability or inability to perform ADLs can be used as a very practical measure of
ability/disability in many disorders.
