Three Levels of Human Functioning INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONING, Impairments DISABILITY AND HEALTH ○ “How is the person’s body affected?” Disablement model of the World Health Organization ○ Problems in body function or structure such (WHO) as their framework for health and disability as a significant deviation or loss Standard language and framework for the BODY STRUCTURES - are description of health and health-related states. anatomical parts of the body such as “All healthcare professionals can understand” organs, limbs, and their components The conceptual basis for the definition, BODY FUNCTIONS - are measurement, and policy formulations for health and physiological functions of body disability systems (including psychological It is the universal classification of disability and health functions) for use in health and health-related sectors ○ Examples Muscle weakness Pain Limitation of motion Decreased cardiovascular endurance Gait deviations Poor standing balance Activity Limitations ○ “How does the problem affect the person’s life?” ○ Are difficulties an individual may have in Health Condition executing activities Refers to the disease, disorders, or injuries of the ACTIVITIES -

Elaboration of the medical diagnosis to identify altered physical status focusing on functional Provides clinical judgements for consequences physical therapists to: - Assign a diagnostic label and classify patient findings within a specific practice pattern (classifies patient) - Determine the prognosis and plan of care including identification of anticipated goals and expected outcomes and selection of specific interventions - Evaluate patient progress through re-examination at periodic intervals during an episode of care - Evaluate the effectiveness of selected interventions Prognosis in achieving anticipated goals and expected - Predicted optimal level of improvement in function outcomes and amount of time needed to reach that level -
