Levels Of Functioning

Background. International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set for cerebral palsy allows for the description of the levels of functioning in cerebral palsy. It is not exactly clear which of these levels is more important for evaluation from the perspective of occupational therapists in Iran. By identifying these priorities, we can establish a better plan for intervention. Purpose. This study defines assessment priorities in children with cerebral palsy (<6 years). Method. Sixty-two Iranian occupational therapists studied the priorities of assessment based on the Iranian ICF core set. The therapists were asked to rate the code categories from 1 to 3. The results are presented as mean values. Findings. Occupational therapists first focus on body functions assessment, then activities/participation, and ultimately, environmental factors. Implications. Occupational therapists in Iran have a bottom-up approach toward clients with cerebral palsy. It may be necessary to revise the educational curriculum, prepare a training course, and provide more supervision for practising occupational therapists.

This article reviews the use of the World Health Organization classification framework for assessing children and adolescents with cerebral palsy and the use of outcome measures as they relate to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Various intervention philosophies and approaches are discussed, including the evidence to support their use with children with cerebral palsy. Therapists will be able to use this information to formulate an assessment plan, incorporate the use of outcome measures, and employ evidence-based intervention methods.
