Abstract

The main aim of any rehabilitation program is to return the individual to a life style that is close to pre-morbid status of function as possible or alternatively to maximize the current potential for function and maintain it. This chapter will go on to state the purpose of functional assessment; it then briefly gives the terminologies used for functional assessment. Functional balance grades are then covered followed finally by functional skill level.
