The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), provides a framework for the description of health and health-related states and offers a biopsychosocial model of disability. The ICF was introduced by the World Health Organization in 1999 as a response to the conceptual and practical difficulties posed by its predecessor, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The ICF lists body functions and structure, and activity and participation. The relationship between impairment, activity, and participation is not linear, and can be further moderated by contextual factors, including personal and environmental factors. There are a wide range of potential applications of the ICF.It has been adopted most widely within rehabilitation services to describe individual functioning, but can also be used at a service and national policy level to describe, monitor, and evaluate different activities.This chapter outlines the use of the ICF, considers its strengths, and highlights its function in a range of settings.

Common Framework

SummaryA common framework for describing health and health related states is needed in order to make this information comparable and of value. The World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), which has been approved by all its member states, provides this common language and framework. The article provides an overview of the ICF taxonomy, introduces the conceptual model which underpins the ICF and elaborates on how the ICF is used at population and clinical level. Furthermore, the article presents key features of the ICF tooling environment and outlines current and future developments of the classification, in particular the conceptual and operational alignment of ICF and ICD in the context of the ongoing ICD revision process. Finally, the paper examines the formulation of disability in the diagnosis of mental disorders in ICD and DSM and argues for separate operational assessment of disability through the ICF and ICF based assessment instruments such as the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0).

The article discusses the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Health (ICF) in the diagnostic practice of an osteopathic physician. The ICF is an internationally recognized classification of health constituents and health-related factors. ICF allows the osteopathic physician to formulate the goals of the patient′s treatment, to determine the terms of treatment. A clinical example reveals the possibilities of using ICF in osteopathy.
