This paper presents a discussion of current approaches to assessment of disablement in the light of findings from a study of people with rheumatoid arthritis. It begins with a critical evaluation of the assumptions underlying assessment of activities of daily living and notes recent attempts to broaden these to incorporate some understanding of social roles. Material from an in-depth study of people with rheumatoid arthritis is then used to illustrate the dynamics of social role relationships and their reciprocal relationship to disablement.
