Basic ADLS – these
activities of daily living consist mostly of self-care tasks.
· Bathing/Showering (including drying up, but not including dressing)
· Dressing – Including the use of zippers, valcrow, buttons, hooks and laces.
· Eating/Chewing/Swallowing
· Feeding – The physical set up of food, and bringing it to the mouth
· Functional mobility – ambulating from point a to point b in need of performing a task
· Personal hygiene/grooming – includes washing hair, waxing, shaving and personal skin care.
· Sexual activity
· Toilet Hygiene – including the acts of washing down and toilet operation.
Way too general, no way to write stroke protocols for these.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because there seems to be no definitive definition of ADLs, you once again are guinea pigs in undocumented research on stroke recovery with no followup report. With NO specifics you have no clue how to open a jar of pickles, steady the jar as you stab pickles with a fork, remove that pickle from the fork. No specifics on how to wash your hands one-handed or how to dry both hands one-handed.
Simple things like:
How to spread peanut butter on bread.
How to open those little jelly packets in restaurants.
How to get jelly out of those packets.
How to shake hands with a glass of wine in your good hand.
Clapping.
NOTHING HERE IS USEFUL

The ADLs you listed are in a separate group called Instrumental ADLs. I don't know why someone thought calling them "instrumental" was a good idea.
