Keyform Ability
Mapa, b, c

a  Keyform Ability Map Microsoft Excel adaptation was designed by Scott Hutchison, MSR, OTR/L, PTA in collaboration with Michelle Woodbury, PhD, OTR/L
b Keyform Ability Maps are not intended to replace the actual instrument. Most instruments can be found by searching for the instrument at the Shirley Ryan Abilitylab Rehabilitation Measures Database https://www.sralab.org/rehabilitation-measures. If the instrument is not available at this site, a citation will be provided on the Map and the reference can be found below.
c  References for the item difficulty hierarchies can be found below.
