Multidimensional Task Ability Profile (MTAP)

We are please to announce the recognition and induction of the MTAP into the Official Disability Guidelines (ODG)! Please see below for more information. The MTAP is the paper and pencil version of the computerized Multidimensional Task Ability Profile, a 50-item questionnaire that quantifies perceived capacity to perform work tasks. In treatment programs, the patient’s progress can be documented easily. The MTAP provides a baseline measure of function in everyday tasks to compare to progress in subsequent treatment, extending the benefits beyond the clinic’s walls, into the patient’s life at home, at work, and in the community. The MTAP assesses a wide range of activities of daily living, from self care, cooking and light housekeeping, to heavy home maintenance tasks. In comparison with functional tests, magnification of dysfunction can be identified. The MTAP matches abilities to the demands of work defined by the US Department of Labor Physical Demand Characteristics (PDC) of work
