There are many different causes of<unk>  that often affect basic activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, transferring, and maintaining personal hygiene; or advanced activities of daily living such as shopping, food preparation, driving, or working. However, it is important to note that causes of<unk>  are usually determined by a person's capability to perform the activities of daily life.
