ADLtasot

ADLtasot is a term that refers to a set of assistive devices and technologies designed to support individuals in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). These activities are fundamental self-care tasks such as eating, bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. ADLtasot encompasses a wide range of equipment, from simple tools to complex electronic systems, all aimed at enhancing independence and quality of life for people with disabilities, age-related limitations, or temporary impairments.

The scope of ADLtasot is broad and includes adaptive utensils for eating, specialized bathing chairs and grab bars for personal hygiene, dressing aids like button hooks and reachers, and toileting equipment such as raised toilet seats and commode chairs. Beyond these basic needs, ADLtasot can also extend to devices that assist with mobility, such as walkers and wheelchairs, and cognitive aids, like medication reminders and digital organizers, that support memory and executive functions. The development and application of ADLtasot are closely linked to occupational therapy and rehabilitation sciences, focusing on person-centered solutions that address individual needs and environmental contexts. The goal is to maximize functional ability, promote safety, and foster a greater sense of autonomy for users.
