Frame of Reference   Assessments
Allen Cognitive Model (ACL) The Allen Battery is the combination of all items designed for use with the Allen Cognitive Levels.

The Allen Battery consists of:
1. ACL Screens – The ACLS and the LACLS
2. ADM manual and the related projects from S & S
3. Sensory Stim Kits for low ACLs
4. Safety Series for high ACLs

Biomechanical

 

 

This model is based on the assumption that voluntary movement and control are the result of muscle strength and function, joint integrity and range, and physical endurance/tolerance.

The capacity for motion, therefore, has three main components:

1. ROM
• Goniometer measurements
• Jebsen Hand Function Test

2. Muscle Strength
• MMT e.g. Oxford Scale
• Hand-grip dynamometer

3. Endurance
• Metabolic costs of activity- METs
• Borg Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE Scale for endurance)

Also assess:
i. Edema and Pain as may impact on the capacity for motion
ii. Occupational performance areas: Activities of daily living, Work and Leisure
iii. Coordination/Dexterity

Edema
• Circumferential measurement
• Volumetric measurement (water displacement)

Pain
• Pain Scale (visual analog and numerical rating scale)

Occupation-based Assessments
• Barthel ADL Index
• Nottingham ADL/Extended ADL
• Klein-Bell Activities of Daily Living Scale (K-B Scale)
• Assessment of motor and process skills (AMPS)
• Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
• Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)
• Tessa – The Enabling System and Skills Assessment
• Valpar – Component Work Sample Series

Coordination/Dexterity
• Purdue Pegboard
• Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test
• 9 Hole Peg Test

COMP_E The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is the only assessment tool developed along with the CMOP.
It is a semi structured interview based on this model and provides practitioners with the tool to organize their thoughts.
Developmental The guiding principle of all developmental theories is that people develop in a predictable sequence from birth to maturity and throughout life. This model is therefore appropriate for all ages. The assessments are selected based on the presenting difficulties.

Areas that can be assessed within this model are:
• Developmental progression
• Gross, fine, and oral motor skills
• Visual perceptual skills
• Cognitive skills
• Sensory skills
• Social skills

Some of the assessment tools that can be used with this model are:
• Gesell’s developmental milestones
• Bayley Scales of Infant Development
• Denver Developmental Screening Test II
• Miller Assessment of The Preschooler
• Hawaii Early Learning Profile
• Sensory profile
• SPM: sensory processing measure
• Developmental Test of Visual Perception-2 (DVPT-2)

• Peabody Developmental Motor Scales 2nd Edition (PDMS 2)
• Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition
• Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI)
• Adolescent Role Assessment
• Lifestyle Performance Profile: An Organizing Frame
• Role Change Assessment
• The Occupational Performance History Interview (OPHI)
• Role Checklist

Dynamic Interactional Cognitive Rehab Contextual Memory Test (CMT)
• Toglia Category Assessment
• Dynamic Object Search Test (derived from Dynamic Visual Processing Test)
• Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
• Cognitive Performance Test (CPT)
• Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT)
• Arnadottir OT- ADL Neurobehavioral Evaluation (A-ONE)
• Cognitive Assessment of Minnesota (CAM)
• Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA)
• Motor Free Visual Perceptual Test (MVPT)
• Test of Everyday Attention (TEA)
Ecology of Human Performance There is a worksheet or checklist for each component that makes up the constructs.

The 4 constructs of this model are:
1. person
2. context
3. tasks
4. performance

The Checklists and worksheets that can be used in the evaluation process:
• Person variables worksheet
• Temporal environment checklist
• Physical environment checklist
• Cultural environment checklist
• Priorities checklist
• Social environment checklist
