Mayo-Portland
Adaptability Inventory (MPAI)
MPAI was designed:
1. To assist in the
clinical evaluation of people during the postacute (posthospital) period following acquired brain injury (ABI),
1. To assist in the
evaluation of rehabilitation programs designed to serve these people, and
2. To better understand
the long-term outcomes of ABI.
Evaluation and rating of each of the areas designated by MPAI items assures that the most frequent and
important sequelae of ABI are considered for
rehabilitation planning or other clinical interventions. MPAI items represent the range of physical,
cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social problems that people may encounter
after ABI. MPAI items also provide an assessment of major
obstacles to community integration which may result directly from ABI as well
as problems in the social and physical environment. Periodic re-evaluation with
MPAI during postacute
rehabilitation or other intervention provides documentation of progress and of
the efficacy and appropriateness of the intervention. Research that examines
the responses to the MPAI by individuals with longstanding ABI and by
their caregivers and close acquaintances helps to answer questions about the
future of those who are newly injured, and their long-term medical, social and
economic needs.
