The first probe tries to get the respondent to focus on his or her capacity to do a task or action, and in particular to focus on limitations in capacity that are inherent or intrinsic features of the person themselves. These limitations should be direct manifestations of the respondent's health state, without the assistance. By assistance we mean the help of another person, or assistance provided by an adapted or specially designed tool or vehicle, or any form of environmental modification to a room, home, workplace and so. The level of capacity should be judged relative to that normally expected of the person, or the person’s capacity before they acquired condition.
