Human Activity Profile Test Definition

A self-administered instrument designed to measure physical activity. The HAP was originally developed to measure quality of life achieved by patients in rehabilitation programs for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The questionnaire has subsequently been used as a measure of physical activity in both healthy and impaired populations. The HAP consists of 94 common daily activities listed in ascending order according to the energy required to perform them. A wide variety of activities is represented, including self-care tasks, personal/household work, entertainment/social activities, and independent exercise pursuits. With regard to each of the listed activities, respondents are requested to indicate if (1) they are currently able to perform the activity (unassisted), (2) they have stopped performing the activity, or (3) they have never performed the activity. (from J Rehabil Res Dev. 41(4): 621-630)
