What does AMPS stand for?

24-27) In contrast, the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) is a 26 item test that measures the quality of a person's activities of daily living (ADL).

The disability scales presented include the Barthel Index and the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), and the handicap level measures include the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART) and the Community Integration Questionnaire.

[TABULAR DATA 3 OMITTED] Another, very sophisticated approach to embedding context into functional assessment is exemplified by the work of Fisher,[34] In the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), Fisher uses a many-faceted Rasch method to create a common scale for over 50 instrumental activity of daily living tasks.

Therefore, the purposes of this study were (a) to determine whether children with behaviors associated with atypical sensory processing as measured by the Sensory Profile (Dunn, 1999) differed from children who were typically developing on a measure of functional occupational performance, the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS; Fisher, 2003), and (b) to explore possible relationships between the occupational performance measure and an assessment of sensory processing behaviors.

The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) (Fisher, 2003) measures a person's ability to complete both personal and instrumental ADL.

Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare functional performance between children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and typical children without behavioral concerns, using the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS; Fisher, 2003a; 2003b).
