== Scoring == | |||
Performance of each of the activities is evaluated as unassisted (0 points), minor assistance (3 points), or major assistance (6 points). | |||
'''Total ADL Score''' is the sum of points of all the six activities. | |||
ADL is also part of the [[MOST]] score. | |||
As per email from Julie 2013-12-17: | |||
Ed’s database assigns the points 1, 3, 6 to unassisted, minor and major respectively. | |||
But in calculating the MOST Score, the point for unassisted has zero point instead of one. | |||
So maybe you have to change the S_ADL options from 2,4,6 not to 1,3,6 but 0,3,6. | |||
