What is adl meaning?

ADL is an acronym for Activities of Daily Living. These are basic self-care tasks that individuals perform on a daily basis in order to take care of themselves, maintain personal hygiene, and manage their physical health. ADLs include activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding oneself, using the toilet, and mobility such as walking or using a wheelchair. The ability to perform ADLs is an important determinant of an individual's quality of life and can be impacted by various factors such as age, illness, injury, or disability. Healthcare professionals often assess a patient's ability to perform ADLs as part of their evaluation to determine a care plan or intervention.
