Objective: to describe the main structural and functional impairments, activity limitations, and social participation restrictions in elderly individuals with myoarticular dysfunctions using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study based on the analysis of clinical and functional data of elderly individuals with osteomyoarticular dysfunctions. A questionnaire including components of Functionality and Disability (ICF, 2004), mobility and stability (Timed Up and Go), lower limb muscle strength (Sit-To-Stand Test), and pain (visual analog scale) was used. Results: a total of 11 elderly individuals (70±1.4 years) with at least two comorbidities (100%) were included, with the majority reporting episodes of falls (54.5%). Pain was the primary complaint in "Body functions," reported by all participants. In "Body structures," the lower limbs (45.4%) and upper limbs (18.1%) had the highest prevalence of complaints. In "Activities and Participation," the most frequently mentioned items were performing housework tasks (31.8%), moving around (31.8%), and recreation and leisure (27.3%). Conclusion: among the ICF components, pain sensation was the most common finding in elderly individuals, especially affecting the lower limbs. Regarding activity limitations and social participation restrictions, performing housework tasks, moving around, and recreation/leisure were prevalent.
