Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

An activity assessment maps how you manage daily activities, such as personal care, cooking, housework, work and leisure. The assessment is a core task in occupational therapy. The practitioner looks at what matters to you, what is difficult and why. The result is a basis for measures, such as training, assistive devices or adaptations in the home.

  1. You talk about your daily life, your health and what you want to manage.
  2. The practitioner watches you do activities that matter to you.
  3. Strength, mobility, energy and memory are assessed if needed.
  4. You go through the findings and make a plan together.

The assessment takes about an hour.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • Many municipalities offer occupational therapy and everyday rehabilitation. You can ask your GP or your municipality what you are entitled to.
  • You are welcome to bring a relative to the appointment.

  • Anyone who finds daily activities harder after illness, injury or surgery.
  • Older people who want to keep managing on their own at home.
  • Relatives who are worried about how someone close to them is managing.

  • An acute illness or injury that needs a doctor. Contact your GP or the out-of-hours service first.
  • Anyone who needs help the same day. The out-of-hours service on 116 117 is then the right place.

Call 113 if you get sudden paralysis, a drooping face, difficulty speaking, chest pain or difficulty breathing. Contact your GP or the out-of-hours service on 116 117 if your function gets quickly worse.

The plan can be followed up with training, assistive devices or a new assessment when your needs change.
