Occupation, environment, person, occupational performance

What is the definition of occupational performance according to Trombly Latham (2008)?

"Activity analysis is used to analyse and assess performance,


,to select occupations to remediate deficient capacities and abilities or knowing the person's skills, abilities and capacities to select and modify activity to ensure successful completion of the activity"

What is the definition of occupational performance according to Fasoli (2008)?

"Ability of individuals to satisfactorily perform purposeful daily activities (occupations). This involves the dynamic transaction among the client, context or environment and the activity"

Describe what is meant by 'fit' of the person, occupation and environment according to Watson and Wilson (2003)

The alignment of skills and abilities of and individual, the demands of the activity and the characteristics of physical, social and cultural environments

Describe the potential misfit of a person, occupation and environment when a person becomes a wheelchair user and it trying to mobilise in the environment.

If a person becomes a wheelchair user but they have stairs in and around their home, there is a misfit between the person and the environment and the activity as it is difficult to mobilise.

Objects occupy space and usually have physical relationships to each other as arranges in a Surface, and to the individual. The physical arrangement of objects required for a task and the ease of access to them are important. Eg in a kitchen, convenience refers to the placements of things like the stove, fridge and working space so that it is practical and convenient (eg the working triangle)
