Dimension 175 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Activity Restriction measures the extent to which an expression reflects limits on usual activities, mobility, work, leisure, and social participation. It encompasses perceived constraint, reduced freedom to go places, and difficulty maintaining regular engagement with others and everyday roles.
Minimal Activity Restriction
Expressions activating this band show little to no clear limitation in daily participation, with activity, independence, or future plans stated without a sustained sense of constraint. The expression may mention ordinary concerns or isolated difficulties, but restriction of movement, roles, or social engagement is not a defining feature.
Moderate Activity Restriction
Expressions activating this band describe noticeable limits on usual activities or social participation, such as cutting back on visits, fun, friendships, or routine tasks because of symptoms, pain, fatigue, or responsibilities. Restriction is present as a recurring interference with everyday life, but some participation remains possible.
Severe Activity Restriction
Expressions activating this band describe pervasive limitation in work, mobility, leisure, and social involvement, with regular activities becoming difficult, shortened, or impossible. The expression conveys strong confinement or sharply reduced freedom to go places and take part in desired activities with others.
