Definitions of the concept are reviewed in this article and dimensions of community integration that could be included in a measurement instrument are listed, with the corresponding metrics discussed. Problems of measurement are also discussed, including the issue of 'normal' community integration and the causes of 'deficits' in integration. Measures of closely related concepts such as instrumental activities of daily living, independent living, social health, social adjustment, and quality of life are described, with a focus on their potential use as measures of community integration or its aspects. Throughout, the focus is on (potential) applications in research on persons with spinal cord injury. Finally, suggestions are made for further development of comprehensive measures of community integration.
