Home and Community Environmental Features, Activity Performance, and Community Participation among Older Adults with Functional Limitations

Figure 1

Based on the ICF, environmental press, and life space models, the conceptual framework for the study illustrates the relationship between home and community environmental features and home and community activity performance, respectively. In addition, activity as a prerequisite for participation suggests that home and community activity performance, in turn, influence participation in both settings although, as indicated by the dark filled arrows, this study only examined the relationships between community participation and (1) home and community environmental features and (2) home activity.
