'''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.
