Method evidence record

Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique

The Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART) is a comprehensive interview-based measure designed to quantify how much a disabling condition restricts participation in six key social roles: physical independence, mobility, occupation, social integration, economic self-sufficiency, and cognitive independence. Developed by Whiteneck and colleagues at the Craig Hospital (now national leader in spinal cord injury care), CHART has become the gold-standard outcome measure for long-term spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury follow-up, extensively used in international outcomes research.
