FUNCAP27 questionnaire
This questionnaire evaluates your functional capacity for a range of activities. No days are the same. Base your response on an average day during the last month – not the worst nor the best. If a question concerns an activity that you have not performed, such as showering while seated because you always shower standing up, then score as you think this activity would have affected you.
