In this episode, host Marissa Moran, PT, DPT is joined by Dr. Carey Holleran, MPT, DHS to discuss her article "Improvement in the Capacity for Activity Versus Improvement in Performance of Activity in Daily Life During Outpatient Rehabilitation." This article was published within the JNPT in January 2023. Activity capacity is what a person is capable of doing, and activity performance is what a person does in their daily life. Dr. Holleran discusses the implications of assessments of capacity vs. performance, and how these measurements can be used for decision-making for physical therapy plans of care.
