igapäevatoiminguteks

Igapäevatoimingud refer to the basic activities of daily living. These are the fundamental self-care tasks that most people can perform independently. They are crucial for maintaining health, hygiene, and overall well-being.

Common examples of igapäevatoimingud include eating, drinking, bathing or showering, dressing, grooming (such as brushing teeth and hair), and using the toilet. Mobility is also considered an everyday activity, encompassing walking, transferring from a bed to a chair, and navigating one's environment.

The ability to perform igapäevatoimingud can be affected by age, illness, injury, or disability. For individuals who have difficulty with these tasks, assistance may be required from caregivers, family members, or healthcare professionals. Occupational therapists often play a role in helping people regain or improve their ability to perform these essential activities. Assessing a person's capacity to manage their igapäevatoimingud is a key part of healthcare evaluations, particularly for older adults or those recovering from health issues. It provides insight into their level of independence and informs care planning.
