Enabling participation in activities of daily living for people living with obesity
RECOMMENDATIONS 1. We recommend that HCPs ask PLWO if they have concerns about managing self-care activities such as bathing, getting dressed, bowel and/or bladder management, skin and/or wound care, foot care (Level 3, Grade C). 2. We recommend that HCPs assess falls risk in PLWO, as this could interfere with their ability to participate in physical activity and their interest in doing so (Level 3, Grade C).
