Activity Analysis
Activity Analysis identifies the functional requirements of an activity. It allows Occupational Therapists to explore all angles an activity so we can understand the effect it will have on you.
Activity analysis includes breaking down the specific functions that are required to complete the task. The following are some of the components that are being analyzed:
Physical ability
Cognitive ability
Perceptual ability
Visual and Hearing ability
Psychological state
Environment the activity is performed in
Cost
Time
Safety risks
Any barriers to participation
The initial evaluation of your current functional level will determine if you have the necessary skills to perform the activity and how we can adapt it to improve participation. Continue to read about how we can adapt the activity in the next section.
