Lansky Score
Children, who might have more trouble expressing their experienced quality of life, require a somewhat more observational scoring system suggested and validated by Lansky et al. in 1987:
- 100 – fully active, normal
- 90 – minor restrictions in strenuous physical activity
- 80 – active, but gets tired more quickly
- 70 – greater restriction of play and less time spent in play activity
- 60 – up and around, but active play minimal; keeps busy by being involved in quieter activities
- 50 – lying around much of the day, but gets dressed; no active playing participates in all quiet play and activities
- 40 – mainly in bed; participates in quiet activities
- 30 – bedbound; needing assistance even for quiet play
- 20 – sleeping often; play entirely limited to very passive activities
- 10 – doesn't play; does not get out of bed
- 0 – unresponsive

Famous quotes containing the words lansky and/or score:
“I call the years when our children are between six and twelve the “golden years,” not because everything’s perfect . . . but because the kids are capable and independent. . . . They’re becoming fascinating human beings who continually astound us and make us laugh. And they build our self-esteem. They still adore us for the most part, not yet having reached that age of thinking everything we do is dumb, old-fashioned and irrelevant.”
—Vicki Lansky (20th century)
“A man who is a politician at forty is a statesman at three score and ten. It is at this age, when he would be too old to be a clerk or a gardener or a police-court magistrate, that he is ripe to govern a country.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
