PULSES profile

PULSES profile, an assessment tool that measures six functions and factors to evaluate the degree of independence possessed by a disabled individual. The score is used in the assessment of progress made in rehabilitation as well as to help identify the severity of disability. The six are: Physical condition (i.e., general health), Upper limb function, Lower limb function, Sensory function, Excretory function, and Support (e.g., social, psychological, financial support).
