“…Pfeiffer (1986) argues that the code is oriented too much towards gross motor functions. The total handicap score in our study seemed largely to be explained by variation in the dimension of mobility, where hand function is not reflected.…”

The aim of this study was to apply the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicap (ICIDH; WHO 1980) parallel to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS; Palisano et al. 1997) in a population‐based series of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Of the 116 children studied, birth characteristics, data on gross motor function, and level of handicap at 5 to 6 years of age, were retrospectively collected from medical records and documentation made by rehabilitation team members. Low handicap scores and mild levels of gross motor disability were present in children with hemiplegic CP, moderate scores in children with diplegic CP, simple ataxia, and athetotic CP, and high scores in children with dystonic CP and tetraplegic CP. A significant correlation was found between high handicap scores as well as high levels on the GMFCS and the presence of learning disability, epilepsy, and obvious aetiology of CP. A strong correlation was found between the handicap code and the GMFCS, the strongest concerning the dimension of mobility (r=0.95, p<0.0001). A striking similarity in the grading of disability was present between the ICIDH handicap code and the GMFCS. The GMFCS is considerably less time‐consuming and can be evaluated retrospectively. The handicap code requires more detailed information and is more useful for a comprehensive profile of the child.

“…It has been applied in a number of population surveys (Pfeiffer 1986, Ferngren and Lagergren 1988, Veen et al 1991, Thornburn et al 1992, Beckung and Uvebrant 1997. The GMFCS has recently been developed for clinical practice in children with CP between the ages of 2 and 12 years, but the application of the model has, to our knowledge, not yet been documented.…”

“…The ICIDH is relevant to the long-term consequences of disease, injuries, or disorders and is applicable both to personal health care and to the planning of long-term rehabilitation. It has been applied in a number of population surveys (Pfeiffer 1986, Ferngren and Lagergren 1988, Veen et al 1991, Thornburn et al 1992, Beckung and Uvebrant 1997.

“…In summary, reports from France (Colvez & Robine, 1986), Switzerland (Paccaud, 1986), Great Britain (Badley & Lee, 1987), Germany (Seidel & Tscherner, 1985), Finland (Alaranta & Kallio, 1986), Czechoslovakia (Pfeiffer, 1986), Canada (McDowell, 1981), United States (Granger, 1985, Australia (Ford, 1984), and the Netherlands (Hirs, 1986;Wiersma, 1986) agreed that development of the ICIDH is an important first step given the increasing awareness of the chronicity of disease and the failure of the disease based classification system (ICD-9) to capture the functional consequences of disease. Of note to occupational therapists who work closely with physiotherapists, Wagstaff (1982) encouraged use and summarized possible applications in that field.…”

Health status, although commonly defined in terms of the presence or absence of disease, can also be defined in terms of performance or functional status. Loss of performance results in disablement. The authors summarize the conceptual framework and categorization in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (ICIDH) (1980) and the Model of Occupational Performance in the Guidelines for the Client-Centred Practice of Occupational Therapy (Health and Welfare Canada and the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, 1983; 1986). Complementary elements of the ICIDH and the Model of Occupational Performance appear to be recognition that performance is an element of holistic health influenced by the social, physical and cultural environment. Also, the ICIDH categories of disablement appear to be conceptually mirrored in the model's categories of occupational performance. The authors use client and service data to illustrate three uses of the ICIDH in occupational therapy: communication with other health professionals; program planning and management; and, clinical evaluation and research.
