HEALTH CONDITION
EXAMPLE
PT's Role:
Working knowledge of health condition (pathology)
"Health Condition"
Determine what difficulties pt. has in task performance and the effect on activity and participation
"Activities & Participation"
Discover impairments that contribute to task performance and intervene
