| Abstract: |
The article focuses about The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). A common interdisciplinary and consumer language which could help communicate and understand health, health-related outcomes and health determinants is aimed by ICF to provide. Such language could also be used as a classification tool to describe and measure functioning. A set of specific codes has been contained in the ICF to classify functioning. |
