Results: The search strategy yielded 591 articles that met the inclusion criteria, from which 187 ADL instruments were identified. Three instruments suited to resource-constrained rural settings were identified. Conclusion: Occupational therapists should consider that existing ADL frameworks and instruments appear silent on the impact of limited access to household amenities in resource-constrained settings. This constitutes epistemic injustice as many rural households globally do not have potable water or adequate household energy supply.
