The author interprets disability on the basis of the “International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)”. In this review the applied method is a purpose oriented, restricted survey of continuously increasing articles published during the last two decades. Definition and interpretation of secondary conditions are based on the cited international classification. It is noted that secondary conditions frequently develop during acute care and usually require rehabilitation. Significance of secondary conditions in rehabilitation is highlighted by selected examples of traumatic spinal cord injury, stroke, lower limb amputation and intellectual disabilities. The author states that there is an insufficiency of presently available knowledge and raises the need for the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as foundation of future research.

The article describes modern approaches to the organization of rehabilitation in patients with limb amputations and exarticulations: it highlights technology of using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, as a tool allowing to form rehabilitation diagnosis, rehabilitation prognosis, assess rehabilitation potential, determine the purpose and plan of rehabilitation, as such as to give recommendations at end of rehabilitation course in the process of rehabilitation in patients with amputations. Taking in to account the limitations of mobility and self-service opportunities assessed by the rehabilitation routing scale, we propose a tactics for patients’ transfer from the first to subsequent rehabilitation stages. The presented approach allows to optimize the rehabilitation process and to achieve designed results.
