Performance-based assessments of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) can detect subtle functional impairments better than self-reported questionnaires.

This study compared in-person and remote administration of IADL tasks from the Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills.

- Stroke survivors transitioning home need support to overcome new environmental challenges post-rehabilitation.
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of a new rehabilitation program, COMPASS, to enhance daily living and community participation for stroke patients compared to a control group.
- Results indicated no significant differences in community participation improvement between the COMPASS and control groups after 12 months, suggesting similar outcomes for both interventions.
Background: It is unknown whether older adults with preclinical Alzheimer disease (AD) experience changes in postural sway compared with those without preclinical AD. The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of dual tasking on standing balance, or postural sway, for people with and without preclinical AD.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a longitudinal cohort study.
