Abstract Objective: Physical activity (PA) is a known benefit to older adults with diabetes; however, the determinants of PA are less well studied in this population. Applying the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a well-established biopsychosocial framework, we explored PA participation among older adult with type 2 diabetes. Method: Using data from the Health and Retirement Study and the RAND Center for the Study of Aging (N = 2,016; mean age = 73.19; SD = 6.16), we conducted hierarchical stepwise regression analysis to evaluate the relative contribution of different biopsychosocial predictors to PA – namely, body functions and structure, activity and participation, personal, and environmental factors. Results: Altogether, biopsychosocial factors accounted for 20% of the variance in PA participation. Of the personal factors, high extraversion and low neuroticism explained approximately 54% of the variance in PA among the older adults – beyond sociodemographics. Low body mass index, reduced pain, reduced depression, and higher cognitive functioning also had good explanatory power (25% of explained variance), whereas activity participation and environment did not (10% each). Conclusion: Aligning care with components of the ICF will help to ensure a focus on person-centric practices and, in turn, optimize participation outcomes such as PA.

Common Framework

The World Health Organization created the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to provide a common framework to understand and describe functioning and disability. To make the ICF more applicable for everyday use, an ICF core set can be developed. We are going to reduce the entire ICF of 1400 categories to essential categories that can be used in a specific health context. These ICF core sets are created through a scientific process based on preparatory studies and the involvement of a multidisciplinary group of experts. The aim of this project is the development of an internationally accepted, evidence-based and valid ICF core set for irreversible vision loss. This article describes the process that is followed in detail and invites stakeholders to participate in the development.

Assistive Product

For many people assistive products are important to perform daily activities and to participate in society. In the process of selecting the proper assistive product for a person, it is important to describe in a uniform and transparent way his/her present functioning and wishes with respect to functioning. To indicate how the ICF (the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) can be used during the supply process, we have taken as a framework a general guideline describing this process. The guideline distinguishes seven steps in the supply process and for each step an inventory is made of the actions of the client, the actions of the care professional, the instruments used, the decisions made, the data generated, relevant classifications (including the ICF) to code these data, and the results for the client. It is the aim of this discussion paper to describe the role of the ICF in the prescription and supply of assistive products and to discuss the specific data in this process that can be classified using the ICF. Although the ICF is not perfect, it is a useful tool to code important data in the process of supplying assistive products. Clinical relevance Assistive products – used worldwide by millions of people – are used to maintain or enhance functioning, rather than to cure a disease. 1 As functioning can be classified with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), it can be expected that the use of ICF terminology in the supply process of assistive products will result in a better match between the characteristics of the person and the characteristics of the assistive product.

General Physical

Rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP) requires a systematic approach and dynamic evaluation of results. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) is used to describe and measure the extent ofhealth disorders in children with CP. This classification allows to unify of identification of an individual profile of functioning of the child taking into account environmental and personal factors, to estimate changes of disorders of health in the course of rehabilitation. However, at the moment there are no clear quantitative criteria that allow using ICF-CY to determine the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of patients with CP, which is relevant in clinical practice and research. The aim is to develop a criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of children with CP based on the use of ICF-CY. Materials and methods. The study included 29 patients (mean age 5.4±1.05) with various forms of CP, who received medical rehabilitation courses in the hospital and polyclinic for 12 months. All patients, in addition to general physical and clinical neurological examination, were tested before and after rehabilitation courses using specialized questionnaires and scales, as well as evaluated using a brief core set of ICF-CY for children/youth with CP. Groups of patients with and without improvement in the first stage of the study were identified using expert evaluation. The sensitivity and specificity of the proposed criterion for assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation are calculated at the second stage. The degree of consistency of experts‘ opinions and the developed evaluation criterion is analyzed. Results. The rehabilitation effect was determined on the basis of the dynamics of domain assessments on the components of the ICF-CY “functions”, “activities and participation” 12 months after the beginning of rehabilitation. The criterion of improvement is the positive dynamics of the child’s condition in at least 3 domains with a change in the assessment, at least 1 point. Improvement was achieved in 18 patients with CP 12 months after rehabilitation, according to the expert method. Improvement was observed in 16 patients with CP according to our criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation. Improvement was observed in 16 patients with CP according to our criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation. The sensitivity of our criterion for assessing the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy was 89%, the specificity of 91%, which allows us to recommend the use of this criterion to assess the improvement of the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of children with CP.

Objective: This scoping review aims to identify how pre-stroke physical activity (PA) has been studied in relation to outcomes after stroke using the ICF framework. Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and grey literature databases were systematically searched from inception to March 15, 2021, with no language restrictions. Risk of bias was evaluated for all included studies. Identified outcome measures were linked to ICF components using linking rules, and the main findings were summarized. Results: Of 3664 records screened, 35 studies were included. The risk of bias was graded as moderate to critical for all studies. There were 60 unique outcome measures studied in relation to pre-stroke PA, covering the hyper acute to chronic phases of stroke recovery. Outcome measures linked to body functions were most common (n=19), followed by activities and participation (n=14), body structures (n=7), environmental factors (n=4) and personal factors (n=2). There were large differences in assessments of pre-stroke PA, and only one study analysed haemorrhagic cases separately. Conclusions: Pre-stroke PA has been studied in relation to all components in the ICF framework.  However, this review highlights the high risk of bias, heterogeneity in pre-stroke PA assessments, and the lack of information regarding haemorrhagic strokes in the current literature. Lay Abstract We used the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to categorise the outcome measures of 35 studies. The ICF includes the following domains of health: body functions, body structures, activities, participation, and environmental factors. We identified 60 outcome measures, covering all domains of the ICF. Most common were measures related to body functions such as stroke symptoms, cognition or respiratory function, and activities or participation, such as functional recovery and walking ability. Few studies evaluated personal and environmental factors. Most studies collected information on physical activity before the stroke after the stroke had occurred, and all studies used self-reported information which is problematic from a scientific point of view and can lead to erroneous results. Future studies are needed to determine the true impact of physical activity on outcomes after stroke.
