This study provides the first description of functional abilities of consumers admitted to an HDU and PICU. Results were used to develop an initial conceptualisation of 'stages' of regaining functional abilities and a set of initial guidelines to support targeted occupational therapy interventions. This study will contribute to a better understanding of the functional abilities of individuals admitted to HDUs and PICUs and will support the development of optimal occupational therapy interventions in these settings.
