Impact on Participation and Autonomy
The Impact on Participation and Autonomy (IPA) scale is a validated, patient-centered measure designed to quantify how chronic conditions or disabilities affect an individual's autonomy and participation in five key life domains: autonomy, mobility, occupation, social relations, and recreation. Developed in the Netherlands by Cardol and colleagues, it operationalizes the WHO handicap concept (now called 'participation restriction') and is widely used in rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and policy evaluation across Europe.
