Disabilities are described using the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Function, Health, and Disability (ICF). Three aspects are evaluated in every patient: (1) the impact of the disability on body structure and function, (2) the impact of the disability on activity and participation in society, and (3) the environmental factors with an impact on the individual’s function. These three areas are the common framework for discussion of a disabling condition and its appropriate therapeutic intervention.
