The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a client-centered outcome measure designed to detect changes in performance and satisfaction in occupations that the individual has self-identified as being important and difficult to perform. The COPM has well-established psychometric properties and will be used as the primary outcome measure and will be used to set treatment goals, determine baseline stability, and detect change in performance of, and satisfaction with, the goals.

The WHO-DAS 2.0 is a generic self-report health status measure, linked to the concepts of health and disability outlined in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and is intended to identify limitations in six domains with 36 items, including self-care, and community and social functioning experienced over the past 30 days. The WHO-DAS 2.0 is responsive to change, has excellent internal consistency, established content validity, and high convergent validity. The WHO-DAS 2.0 will be used to identify changes in overall health status that occur through the study. Uses a scale of 1-5 - 1=no difficulty and 5=extreme difficulty or cannot do. Sum of items within each domain are then summed across the 6 domains to result in a general disability summary score, converted to a metric from 0-100 with higher score indicating more disability.
