Evals and Assessments Flashcards
Describe focus, advantages, scoring, and population of AMPS
Focus: assessment of the effectiveness, efficiency, or safety of a person’s ADL task performance including IADLs and some leisure.
Advantages: flexibility in choosing tasks, useful for cultural diversity, repeatability
Scoring: ordinal scoring, pre and post scoring, provides insight into level of difficulty with tasks
Population: developmentally >2 years w/diagnosis that causes functional limitations in ADL
*note: has also been extended to well populations of healthy people
Describe focus, advantages, scoring, and population of Barthel Index
Focus: Measurement of a person’s independence in BADL and functional mobility before and after intervention and the level of personal care assistance needed by the individual. contains 10 items.
Advantages: focus on control and mobility- features control of bowel and bladder, transferring, ambulation on flat surface and stairs.
Scoring: max score of 100 indicates ability to do all 10 tasks IND, does not equate with ability to live safely IND. Includes client and caregiver input for scoring,
Population: adults and elders with physical disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, typically used in medical model settings.

Describe the purpose of the Clock Drawing Test
The client is asked to reproduce the face of a clock set to a specific time. This test may detect difficulties with visuospatial skills, visual perception, selective attention, memory, abstract thinking, and executive functioning
Describe the purpose of the Ishihara Color Test
This measure of color perception tests for red or green color deficiencies and was first published in 1917 by Dr. Shinobu Ishihara.
Describe the purpose of a contrast sensitivity test for driving
A contrast sensitivity test measures how well a person can discern objects with fuzzy, poorly defined edges or low-contrast objects that may be only slightly brighter or darker than their surroundings, which is important in night driving.
Describe the purpose of a depth perception test
Depth perception is the ability to perceive the environment in three dimensions and to understand the distance of objects in relation to each other.
It is created by stereopsis, the two eyes working together to view objects in the environment.
Depth perception is assessed by the Optec Functional Visual Analyzer
Describe the purpose of a glare recovery test
This test assesses vision impairment and how quickly a person recovers vision after exposure to a bright light source.
Describe the purpose of the Letter–number cancellation test
These assessments test visual scanning and selective attention as a client scans a grouping of letters and has to select and draw a line through the targeted letter (H)
Describe the purpose of the Craig handicap assessment and reporting technique (CHART)
degree of handicap for social and community participation
Describe the purpose of the home environment assessment protocol
evaluates the role of the physical environment in supporting the caregiver’s provision of home care for individuals with dementia
Describe the purpose of the craig hospital inventory of environmental factors
- designed to measure those things that keep a person from doing what he or she needs to do.
- one of the first forms designed to look at these environmental factors and how they can affect people with disabilities.
Describe the purpose of the housing enabler screening tool.
- assessment of the accessibility of the housing environment and the immediate outdoor environment in terms of occupational therapy
Describe the purpose of the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test
assesses a person’s visual–perceptual ability in the domains of spatial relationships, visual closure, visual discrimination, visual memory, and figure–ground. No motor involvement is needed to make a response.
Describe the purpose of assessing ocular movement
Ocular movement, including ocular ROM, convergence, divergence, saccades, and the vertical and lateral phorias, is assessed functionally by the clinician (drawing the letter H or a triangle and requesting that clients follow the pattern with their eyes) or by the Optec 2500 or 5500 Functional Visual Analyzer
