Description

The 34 ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) cover day to day things like brushing one's teeth or getting dressed, but these aren't necessarily the things one does for their job. So how are these ADLs relevant for assessing a workplace injury? In this episode, Dr. John Alchemy explains how ADLs help us understand workplace injuries and how they are balanced against the WPI (Whole Person Impairment).
