From an occupational therapist's perspective, data is obtained through observation, client intervention, and direct implementation of assistive devices. The subject will determine the goal of intervention on activities of daily living using a subjective perspective based on occupational performance and satisfaction score. The evaluation of the intervention in this study used Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The results of this study showed an increase in performance and satisfaction scores of 1.6 (from 5.8 to 7.3) and an increase in satisfaction scores of 2 (from 5.4 to 7.4) in activity daily living skills. Other factors can affect the success of the intervention, nevertheless the use of Assistive Devices can encourage independence in daily activities among physical dysfunctions.
