Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Activities of daily living (ADLs) include improvising personal behavior such as getting dressed, using the toilets, walking, and eating. Physically disabled and elderly people might have difficulty in doing the routine tasks such as walking, dressing, and eating. Therefore, the kinesiologist who works with such people must learn about ADLs to help the physically disabled and elderly people.

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) include activities such as shopping, telephoning, laundry, and cooking. IADL activities are physically more demanding. Disabled and elderly aged people might have less stamina to do such activities. Therefore, the professional kinesiologists who deal with disabled and elderly people must be aware of the IADLs.
