“…This has sometimes been termed the WHO model (WHO, 2001), the ICIDH or ICIDH-2 (WHO, 1999). The framework has been applied to many aspects of speech-language pathology including the scope of practice of the profession American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association (ASHA, 2001), national data collection (Heerkens, van der Brug, Napel, & van Ravensburg, 2003) framing assessments and interventions (e.g., Brush, Threats, & Calkins, 2003;Eadie, 2001;Hartley & Wirz, 2002;Le Dorze & Brassard, 1995;Ma & Yiu, 2001;Raaijmakers, Dekker, Dejonckere, & van der Zee, 1995;Ross & Wertz, 1999;Worrall & Frattali, 2000;Yaruss, 1998), measuring clinical and research outcomes (Enderby & Johns, 1997;Frattali, 1998;Worrall & Yiu, 2000) and researching the relative contribution of communication to quality of life (Cruice, Worrall, Hickson, & Murison, 2003).…”

Health classification schemes not only affect funding of speech-language pathology services but the terminology used in the classification affects the way the profession communicates externally to its stakeholders and internally within the profession. This paper describes the classification scheme of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). While the conceptual framework of the ICF has been established within the profession, the detailed classification scheme is becoming increasingly important to speech-language pathologists. The implementation of the classification worldwide presents many opportunities for speech-language pathologists. Details of the ICF, however, continue to be ''work in progress,'' particularly in areas highly relevant to speech-language pathology such as the differentiation of the Activity and Participation components and their qualifiers. This uncertainty, together with other limitations, needs to be acknowledged by the profession. A research agenda is proposed that aims to place the speechlanguage pathology profession firmly at the forefront of ICF developments, so that the full scope of the profession's work is suitably acknowledged in the future.

“…In a differing vantage point, Heerkens, VanDerBrug, Ten Napel, and Van Ravensberg (2003) described the use of the ICIDH, the precursor of the ICF, by allied health and nursing professions in the Netherlands. These authors concluded that the level of detail needed for a richer description of the functioning of a patient does not yet exist within the ICIDH or the ICF classification systems.…”

This article reviews the literature from the 3 years since the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health's (ICF's) endorsement, focusing on those articles that discuss (a) what the ICF means and how it can be used; (b) the general utility of the ICF for specific fields, such as nursing, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology; (c) examples of applications for classification in particular disorders, such as chronic health conditions, neuromusculoskeletal conditions, cognitive disorders, mental disorders, sensory disorders, and primary and secondary conditions in children; (d) uses of the ICF to recode prior work across multiple surveys and across country coding schemes on disability-related national survey items; and (e) governmental uses of the ICF in the United States and selected countries abroad. Future directions needed to effectively implement the ICF across rehabilitation policy, research, and practice are discussed.This article reviews the literature in psychology and health and human services, and rehabilitation more generally, from the 3 years since the endorsement of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). For this review, we narrowed our searches to articles focused on clinical research or specific implementations of the Bruyère , VanLooy, & Peterson The ICF: Contemporary Literature Overview ICF. Most available articles on the ICF discuss its utility for specific groups or particular research areas. The overview of current literature presented here is not exhaustive but rather illustrative of current applications of the ICF to research and practice.Our review suggests that the actual application of the ICF is as yet somewhat limited because the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsement is so recent; the earliest references using the ICF correspond with the WHO's 2001 endorsement. Standardized application of the ICF in North America has yet to be realized in anticipation of the release of the clinical implementation manual (see Reed et al., 2005); thus, it is not surprising to find limited research on clinical implementation of the ICF. From our review of the literature and of unpublished reports, it seems clear that the ICF is being used in a preliminary fashion to inform conceptual frameworks in research and for recoding data from other health classifications. Recently completed and ongoing research has undoubtedly not yet been published.In this review, we cluster articles by the following areas: (a) what the ICF means and how it can be used; (b) general utility of the ICF for specific fields, such as nursing, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology; (c) examples of applications for classification in particular disorders, such as chronic health conditions, neuromusculoskeletal conditions, cognitive disorders, mental disorders, sensory disorders, and primary and secondary conditions in children; (d) uses of the ICF to recode prior work across multiple surveys and across country coding...

“…The findings of the anamnesis corroborate the critical constants of own professionals before the shortage of methods used to analyze the function and activities of patients daily life. This fact is due to the restriction of classical analysis focused on the disease, in which the human functionality and activities of daily life are under valued 16 . Similarly, the techniques applied in the physical examination suggest the original idea of physical therapy as a health area that studies, prevents and treats kineticfunctional disorders that becomes from changes in organs and systems of the human body.…”

| Neurofunctional clinical evaluation represents one of the most important activities of physical therapists. However, differences in diagnostic methods cause discrepancies between physical therapy prescription and prognosis. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze and discuss the evaluation methods and techniques used by physical therapists bound to popular healthcare assistance, in the specificity of the neurofunctional area. To accomplish this research, a cross-sectional design study was conducted. The sample consisted of physical therapists specialized in neurofunctional rehabilitation registered in the Regional Council for Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy of Mato Grosso do Sul (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional, CREFITO-13), who work in hospitals, universities and clinics of the city of Campo Grande, Brazil. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential (χ 2 ) statistics, under a 5% level of significance (p<0.05). Regarding the results, all physical therapists had concluded graduation five years before. Responses regarding the physical examination were similar between professors and clinical physical therapists (p=0.81), which did not happen on the anamnesis (p=0.02). Items such as cognitive functions and social determinants of health were answered by less than 15% of subjects, and about 70% of respondents said they do, but do not register, the patients' evaluation. In conclusion, there is not a standardization of the physiotherapeutic neurofunctional evaluation, making it difficult to unify the prescriptive and prognostic analysis of clinical cases. The responses indicate a dependence of professional vision in the disease aspect, with little appreciation of health social issues.Keywords | physical therapy specialty; health evaluation; evaluation studies.RESUMO | A avaliação fisioterapêutica neurofuncional representa uma das ações mais importantes do profissional.
