35. Physical condition (includes cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urologic, endocrine as well as neurologic disorders):
Medical problems sufficiently stable that medical or nursing monitoring is not required more often than 3-month intervals
Medical or nurse monitoring is needed more often than 3-month intervals but not each week.
Medical problems are sufficiently unstable as to require medical and/or nursing attention at least weekly.
Medical problems require intensive medical and/or nursing attention at least daily (excluding personal care assistance)
36. Upper limb functions: Self-care activities (drink/feed, dress upper/lower, groom, wash) dependent mainly upon upper limb function:
Age-appropriate independence in self-care without impairment of upper limbs
Age-appropriate independence in self-care with some impairment of upper limbs
Dependent upon assistance in self-care with or without impairment of upper limbs.
Dependent totally in self-care with marked impairment of upper limbs.
37. Lower limb functions: Mobility (walk, stairs, wheelchair, transfer to chair/toilet/tub or shower) dependent mainly upon lower limb function:
Independent in mobility without impairment of lower limbs
Independent of mobility with some impairment of lower limbs, such as needing ambulatory aids such as a brace or prosthesis.
Dependent upon assistance or supervision in mobility with or without impairment of lower limbs.
Dependant totally in mobility with marked impairment of lower limbs.
38. Sensory components: Relating to communication (speech and hearing) and vision:
Age-appropriate independence in communication and vision without impairment
Age-appropriate independence in communication and vision with some impairment such as mild slurred speech, delayed speech or need for eyeglasses or hearing aid.
Dependent upon assistance, an interpreter, or supervision in communication or vision
Dependent totally in communication or vision
39. Excretory functions (bladder and bowel control, age-appropriate):
Complete voluntary control of bladder and bowel sphincters (at least as well as prior to AFM diagnosis)
Control of sphincters allows normal social activities despite urgency or need for catheter, appliance, suppositories, etc.
Dependent upon assistance in bowel and bladder sphincter management
Frequent wetting or soiling from bowel or bladder incontinence
40. Support factors:
Able to fulfil usual age-appropriate roles and perform customary tasks (at least as well as prior to AFM diagnosis)
Must make some modifications in usual age-appropriate roles and performance of customary tasks
Dependent upon assistance, supervision, and encouragement from an adult due to any residual limb weakness or impairment?
Dependent upon long-term institutional care (chronic hospitalization, residential rehabilitation)
