Identify the predictors of social participation in Down Syndrome (DS) adults from the biopsychosocial model of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)....
An exploratory, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted with DS adults. The social participation was assessed using the Life Habits Assessment (LIFE-H 3.1). The independent variables were dete...
The total LIFE-H score indicates that individuals show moderate restriction in social participation, with major restriction in the education, employment, and responsibilities domains. The 8-FUGT was t...
It was concluded that individuals with DS present the most restrictions to social participation in activities that involve social roles. The predictors influencing social participation are functional ...
Amputation is a major life-changing event and is regarded as one of the loading causes of permanent disability. However, amputation often causes changes in painful and nonpainful sensory experiences. ...
This study aimed to examine the effect of pain on activity and participation in individuals with unilateral below-knee amputations according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disabil...
Cross-sectional study....
In the study, 64 individuals were divided into 2 groups: those who experienced pain and those who did not. Group 1 included 33 below-knee amputees who experienced pain (27 males, mean age 43.9 ± 12.6 ...
Demographic characteristics of the 2 groups were statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). The nonpainful group had significantly higher activity and participation scores than the painful group (P < 0.0...
It was found that phantom pain and stump pain in below-knee amputees limited activity and participation. It was also shown that phantom pain has a more negative effect on the activity level of individ...
This study aims to introduce an assessment questionnaire based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to enable quantifiable clinical documentation. The questi...
Six SLTs were recruited to evaluate the effectiveness of CI care using ICF criteria. We carefully selected 20 pertinent ICF criteria, and SLTs received thorough training in how to apply them uniformly...
A total of 144 complete datasets were scrutinized using a two-factor analysis of variance for ranks. Following CI care, patients exhibited substantial improvements in auditory perception, characterize...
The data extracted from the ICF-based assessments underscore the vital significance of incorporating speech therapy-based metrics to evaluate both non-audiological and audiological factors in assessin...
(1) Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between lower limb bone deformities and body functions, activity, and participation in ambulant children with CP and whether changing b...
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health is the WHO coding scheme for functioning-related data. Clear and unambiguous information regarding patients' work-related disabil...
An ICF-linking study following the ICF-linking rules. A random sample of sick leave certificates issued in primary care for either depression (...
The results of the ICF linking consisted of codings for (1) ICF categories and (2) other health information not possible to link to ICF. The ICF categories were compared to ICF Core Sets for coverage....
The results indicates that ICF is a feasible code scheme for categorising information on work-related disability in sick leave certificates for depression and long-term musculoskeletal pain. As expect...
Given the complex etiology, multidimensional impact, and widespread prevalence of low back pain (LBP), it is crucial to prioritize intervention targets based on understanding the relationships between...
The aim of this study was establishing a graphical model of functioning variables for LBP based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) to identify the most in...
Cross-sectional survey....
Nine hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China....
Three hundred and six persons with LBP aged ≥18 years....
All patients were assessed using the Comprehensive ICF Core Sets for LBP. The scoring system was converted to dichotomous data, with 1 indicating dysfunction and 0 indicating no dysfunction. In the gr...
1) A total of 56 ICF items were located in the backbone structure of LBP, among which d430 (Lifting and carrying objects) occupied the most central position, followed by b126 (Temperament and personal...
d430 and b126 significantly impact the physical and mental well-being of LBP patients. To improve d430, maintaining exercise habits, reducing working hours, enhancing lumbar stability, and overcoming ...
Through the identification of crucial functioning variables and the associated dysfunctional correlation relationships, graphical model of Comprehensive ICF Core Set for LBP can offer healthcare decis...
Spasticity is generally caused by damage to the spinal cord or the areas of the brain that controls movements, which poses significant limitations in occupational tasks....
The aims of the study were to (I) describe prioritized occupational performance problems (POPP) among patients who underwent upper limb spasticity-correcting surgery and map them to the International ...
In this retrospective study, assessments occurred pre- and postsurgery, including the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), grip strength, and grasp ability. POPP were transformed to prior...
60 patients with a history of spinal cord injury (SCI) (...
Patients who underwent spasticity-correcting upper limb surgery identified difficulties with a wide range of occupational tasks that they considered as important to regain. Treatment-induced gains in ...
To describe and analyze the methodological characteristics and quality of cross-sectional studies that have validated an ICF-CS....
A systematic review was conducted to identify empirical studies published in English that validated any ICF-CS using a cross-sectional design. Databases searched included Web of Science, Scopus, CINAH...
87 articles validating 24 ICF-CSs were analyzed. Most articles showed strengths in consistency between study objectives and the outcome variables measured. However, a large majority did not report sam...
The quality of cross-sectional studies validating ICF-CSs was satisfactory, although several articles did not describe aspects such as sample size calculation. Validity evidence for ICF-CS studies cou...
There is currently a lack of functional assessment tools based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) theoretical framework that are specific for older adults...
The aim of the present study was to develop Chinese assessment standards of the ICF Geriatric Core Set for functional evaluation of older adults....
A two-stage study process was conducted to develop the assessment standards of the ICF Geriatric Core Set: establishment of candidate assessment standards, and a modified Delphi consensus process incl...
Thirty-three candidate assessment standards belonging to 17 categories were generated. A total of 26 and 24 experts in the field of ICF and geriatric rehabilitation participated in the two-round surve...
