About the Course
Activities of daily living or ADL refer to the activities we normally do in daily living including any activity we perform for self-care such as feeding ourselves, bathing, dressing, grooming, or more complex activities like work, homemaking, and leisure. But after a burn injury, the ability to perform ADLs can become compromised, and the patient’s independent living will be greatly reduced. This loss of independence has serious implications for the patient’s physical and emotional well-being, but also for his caregivers and family. In this course, we will explain how to analyze activities and design interventions to help our patients regain as much function as possible so that they can return to quality independent living.
