- The Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H) was developed to measure what people do in their lives on a daily basis in 12 domains/categories.
- The LIFE-H includes 12 categories:
-
- Nutrition
- Fitness
- Personal care
- Communication
- Housing
- Mobility
- Responsibilities
- Interpersonal relationships
- Community life
- Education
- Employment
- Recreation
Clinical Considerations
- The LIFE-H is a conceptually strong tool that incorporates the interaction of the individual and their environment, and thus, overlaps with the International Classification of Functioning (ICF). Participation is based on the individual’s perspective of performance rather than describing it from a societal perspective.
- Input was obtained from rehabilitation experts and individuals with SCI (children and adults) so items on this measure should be acceptable to individuals with SCI.
