Overview
THIS IS THE LARGE PRINT VERSION OF ICFFOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED
International Classification of Functioning (ICF) is a classification of health and health-related domains that provides a standard language for describing how people live with their health condition. It covers body functions and structures, activities and participation, from both individual and societal perspectives.
The ICFputs the notions of health and disability in a new light. Disability is not something that only happens to a minority of humanity. It acknowledges that every human being can undergo a decrement in health and thereby experience some degree of disability. The ICFthus mainstreams the experience of disability and recognizes it as a universal human experience.
By shifting the focus from cause to impact, it places all health conditions on an equal footing allowing them to be compared using a common metric--the ruler of health and disability. Furthermore, ICFtakes into account the social aspects of disability and does not see disability only as medical or biological dysfunction. It also takes into account the impact of the environment on the person's functioning.
ICFis useful in understanding and measuring health outcomes. It can be used in clinical settings, health services or surveys at the individual or population level.
In view of the differing needs of different types of users, ICFis presented in multiple formats and versions:
