Toward the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Rehabilitation Set: A Minimal Generic Set of Domains for Rehabilitation as a Health Strategy

Abstract

5Objective: To develop a comprehensive set of categories from the International Classification of 6 Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a minimal standard for reporting and assessing 7 functioning and disability in clinical populations along the continuum of care. The specific aims 8 were to specify the domains of functioning recommended for such ICF Rehabilitation Set and to 9 identify a minimal set of environmental factors (EFs) to be used alongside the ICF Rehabilitation 10Sets when describing disability across individuals and populations with various health conditions. 11Design: A secondary analysis of existing data sets was performed using regression methods 12(Random Forests and Group Lasso regression) and expert consultation.

Outcomes in adults with cerebral palsy: systematic review using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

“…'Mobility' (d4) was the most frequently addressed ICF chapter-a chapter that includes 'Walking' (d450), 'Moving around' (d455), and 'Changing and maintaining body positions' (d410 and d415); these activities are all reflected in the GMFCS. 32 Comparable to the present results, 21 of the 30 categories in the ICF Generic-30 Set (often also called ICF Rehabilitation Set) are from the component 'Activities and participation', whereby 13 are 'Mobility' (d4) and 'Self-care' (d5) categories. Furthermore, we found high frequencies of categories in chapter b7 'Neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions', namely 'Functions of joint mobility' (b710), 'Muscle power and tone' (b730 and b735), 'Gait pattern' (b770), and 'Voluntary movement' (b760).…”

“…30,31 Recently, the ICF Research Branch developed a generic set of categories that can be applied for documenting functioning in clinical (rehabilitation) settings. 32 Comparable to the present results, 21 of the 30 categories in the ICF Generic-30 Set (often also called ICF Rehabilitation Set) are from the component 'Activities and participation', whereby 13 are 'Mobility' (d4) and 'Self-care' (d5) categories. Furthermore, 89% of the body function categories included in the ICF Generic-30 Set corresponds to the 'Body functions' frequently reported in the studies included in this review.…”

Avaliação do nível de conhecimento e aplicabilidade da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde

“…Em contrapartida, essa quantidade de códigos representa um dos principais obstáculos para sua aplicação, devido ao tempo gasto na coleta de dados, o que transforma o instrumento em algo pouco exequível (PRODINGER ET AL., 2015;RIBERTO, 2011).…”

Study Protocol of the International Spinal Cord Injury (InSCI) Community Survey

“…18 For the InSCI data model, the ICF framework 12 acts as guidance in selecting the most appropriate ICF categories to fully describe the lived experience of SCI, that is, to capture what matters most to affected persons. The InSCI data model is based on categories included in the Brief ICF core set for SCI, long-term context, 19 and ICF rehabilitation set 7 complemented by selected psychological-personal factors, 20 lesion characteristics, and appraisal of health and well-being. This resulted in a total of 47 ICF categories to be covered by the InSCI questionnaire ( Table 3).…”

“…1 The Learning Health System for Spinal Cord Injury (LHS-SCI) 6 is an initiative rooted in the WHO's Global Disability Action Plan 2014-2021 Better health for all people with disability and in particular with its main objectives of reducing barriers and improving access to health services, assistive technology, and community-based rehabilitation as well as strengthening relevant and internationally comparable data collection. 7 The LHS-SCI achieves its overall goal of continuously improving the lived experience of persons with SCI in three ways: (i) generating data by means of an international SCI (InSCI) community survey and description of the societal response to SCI; (ii) implementing recommendations by means of national stakeholder dialogs; and (iii) building SCI-relevant policy and research capacity.…”
