Study Notes
ICF Model
- The ICF model provides a framework for conceptualizing, assessing, and managing health and disability.
- It encompasses all aspects of an individual’s health, including body functions and structures, activities, participation, and contextual factors.
- It shifts from the negative terms "impairment", "disability", and "handicap" to the neutral terms "body function and structure", "activity", and "participation", respectively.
- It emphasizes the interaction between the individual and their environment in shaping a person's health and functioning.
- The ICF recognizes that any aspect of function can affect others in a non-linear manner, highlighting the interconnectedness of body structure, activities, and participation.
ICF in Cerebral Palsy
- The ICF model provides a multifaceted approach to understanding and addressing challenges faced by individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
- It encourages considering environmental factors, such as family support, access to resources, and societal attitudes, as key influences on the individual's well-being.
- It emphasizes the importance of personal factors, including individual preferences, strengths, and interests, in shaping interventions and goals.
- The ICF model encourages moving beyond a focus on impairments to consider the individual's ability to participate in activities and social life.
- It recognizes the vital role of family-centred service (FCS) in supporting the individual's functional progress.
Applying the ICF Model to Practice
- The ICF model emphasizes the importance of multidimensional assessment and intervention strategies to address both impairment and functional limitations.
- The model encourages considering the individual's "capacity" (what they are capable of) in the context of their "performance" (what they can achieve in real-world settings).
- It promotes the use of “augmentative” interventions, such as mobility aids and alternative communication devices, to bridge the gap between capacity and desired performance.
- It advocates for client-centered approaches that prioritize the individual's self-determined goals and preferences in shaping therapeutic interventions.
- It encourages exploring innovative outcome measures that reflect the impact of interventions across various levels of functioning, from body structure to participation.
The Role of the ICF in Research and Education
- The ICF model offers a comprehensive framework for conducting research on Cerebral Palsy (CP) by incorporating dimensions of activity, participation, and environmental factors.
- It encourages exploring how interventions enhance the participation of individuals with CP in various life domains.
- It promotes a biopsychosocial approach to service delivery, emphasizing the importance of understanding the interaction between biological, individual, and social factors in shaping health and disability.
- The ICF model emphasizes the need for professionals to become familiar with its principles and apply it across clinical practice, research, and education.
Definitions of Key Terms for the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)
-
Functioning and disability are umbrella terms encompassing the dynamic interaction between health conditions and contextual factors.
-
Health conditions include diseases, disorders, and injuries.
-
Contextual factors encompass both environmental factors and personal factors
-
Environmental factors include the physical, social, and attitudinal environment people live and conduct their lives in.
-
Personal factors involve an individual’s unique background and life experiences, including features not related to their health condition.
-
Body functions refer to the physiological functions of body systems, including psychological functions.
-
Body structures encompass the anatomical parts of the body, such as organs, limbs, and their components.
-
Impairments are problems in body function or structure, often involving significant deviation or loss.
-
Activity refers to the execution of a task or action by an individual.
-
Participation involves an individual's involvement in a life situation.
-
Activity limitations are difficulties an individual may face when executing activities.
-
Participation restrictions are problems an individual might experience when participating in a life situation.
