👉 The Fluid Disability Scale (FDS) is a comprehensive assessment tool designed to evaluate an individual's daily living skills and functional abilities, recognizing that disabilities can be fluid and change over time. Unlike traditional disability scales that categorize individuals into fixed categories, the FDS measures abilities across a continuum, acknowledging that a person's functional capacity can fluctuate due to various factors such as health conditions, medications, and environmental changes. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of an individual's needs and supports personalized care planning, ensuring that interventions are tailored to the person's current abilities and circumstances. By focusing on functional outcomes rather than static diagnoses, the FDS promotes a more dynamic and responsive approach to disability management.
