“…Most importantly, the ICF has been shown to be adapted to the clinic as a classification system for physiotherapeutic diagnoses, treatment goals, interventions, or outcomes (33). For example, an article studying the use of the ICF in paediatric physiotherapy (36) described the application of the enablement framework to develop meaningful goals and interventions focused on enhancing the child's participation in desired activities.…”

“…Nevertheless, we summarized the study type, which provides an informative basis of the articles' quality (Table II). We identified three systematic review articles (45,47,49), one randomized controlled trial (41), three cross-sectional survey (26,34,35), three retrospective cross-sectional studies (27,31,32), seven reports (2,33,36,37,40,46,48), one cohort study (39), one study with repeated measure design (38) and three case studies (42,43,44). This shows that only one experimental study provided information about the topic ''ICF and its integration in a daily activity of physiotherapists''.…”

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) holds great promise for providing the rehabilitation disciplines with a universal language. However, the ICF is still highly complex and questions remain about its practicability. The aims of this review were to (i) identify how the ICF is integrated in the clinical activity of physiotherapists, (ii) discuss advantages and limits of the use of the ICF, and (iii) suggest further possibilities for implementing the ICF by physiotherapists. A literature search on Medline, Cochrane, CINAHL and PEDro (key words: ICF, physiotherapy, physical therapy, clinical application, clinical use) was carried out, together with a check for articles on Google Scholar. Of 155 identified articles, 22 were specific to physiotherapy. These articles described the utility of the ICF to facilitate decisionmaking for physiotherapists; to classify the evaluation of therapy outcomes; to ensure that all aspects of human functioning are represented while testing the effectiveness and the reliability of these outcomes; to structure the documentation of assessments and interventions, as well as to ameliorate the communication. ICF has a clinical relevance for physiotherapists, although the limited reliability of the qualifier system for the feasibility of its implementation was shown. The authors emphasize that the ICF is a tool that facilitates the decision of what to measure but not how to measure.

“…Thus far, the ICF has been applied in several chronic childhood conditions that are mainly characterized by physical disabilities. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Application of this tool to children with HIV infection, a disease with a heavy burden of psychosocial issues, may also yield information useful for planning health care interventions.…”

Using the ICF as a framework for clinical decision making in pediatric physical therapy

The conceptual frameworks of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the recently published International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Á Children and Youth (ICF-CY) provide pediatric physical therapists with an effective way to document and evaluate the assumptions inherent in their clinical decision making. This paper discusses some of the clinical assumptions made in pediatric physical therapy and provides examples of how to identify and to document these assumptions using the ICF framework. These clinical assumptions may be valid, and the ICF provides a mechanism to make them more transparent and to systematically evaluate them. Other uses of the ICF discussed in the literature are also presented. Perceived barriers to clinical implementation of the ICF and future uses of the ICF framework in clinical practice are also discussed.

Enhancing Participation for Children with Disabilities: Application of the ICF Enablement Framework to Pediatric Physical Therapist Practice

Abstract: Adoption of an enablement perspective may help pediatric physical therapists to focus their evaluations and interventions on promoting children's participation as well as the specific functional activities that enhance participation.
