The tool assesses the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of a person's motor and process skills during the execution of chosen tasks. 

It provides objective data through a detailed scoring system recorded on the AMPS assessment form, enabling clinicians to identify difficulties related to neurological, musculoskeletal, or cognitive impairments. 

The AMPS tool's main purpose is to guide intervention planning and measure outcomes by capturing subtle changes in occupational performance.
