Mit der „Patient-Specific Functional Scale“ (PSFS) erfassen Handtherapeut*innen persönlich bedeutsame Aktivitäten von Klient*innen. Diese benennen selbst, welche Aufgaben ihnen wichtig sind und wo sie Einschränkungen durch ihr Gesundheitsproblem erleben. So rücken konkrete Tätigkeiten in den Mittelpunkt von Zielsetzung und Behandlung.
