Which of the following describes a function of adaptive equipment?

Adaptive equipment is designed specifically to assist individuals in performing daily tasks more effectively and independently. The primary function of this equipment is to enhance a person’s ability to engage in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating, bathing, dressing, and mobility. For instance, tools like reachers, dressing aids, or modified utensils make it easier for those with mobility impairments or other limitations to perform tasks they might struggle with otherwise.

The other options do not align with the primary purpose of adaptive equipment. It does not aim to replace all forms of therapy, as adaptive equipment often works in conjunction with therapy to improve functionality and independence. Adaptive equipment also does not limit mobility; rather, it promotes mobility and independence for individuals with disabilities or injuries. Finally, while some adaptive equipment may have aesthetic designs, their main function is not to provide aesthetic improvements but to facilitate practical assistance in daily activities.
