“…However, in this study, we have decided to create new instruments -checklists -fit to the local demands of the studied healthcare center.

“…However, the main reasons for non-implementation of the ICF in the clinical practice are related to the extent and complexity of this instrument, a problem already recognized by the WHO 1 . The need of change in thinking is another complicating factor, since the disease-centered model is still prevalent 5,19,20 . We suppose that the medical model based on the disease still prevails in the academic programs, however, this is just a hypothesis.…”

“…It is known that patients with the same ICD have different functionality and disability, which should guide the individualized treatment 5,7 . The ICF use could still contribute to issues related to benefits granting by social security, considered at the time of public policy making and compared with the effectiveness of services, and even for the elaboration of pedagogical plans for individuals or populations in different health conditions 3 .…”

“…However, 82% of the participants believed Revision -(ICD-10) 1,3 . Despite being a classification tool, the ICF is not restricted to this purpose, since its multidimensional and multidirectional model (FIGURE 1), based on the biopsychosocial approach, represents a new way of thinking about human functionality and disability [3][4][5] . In addition, the ICF has recognized the importance, not only in the field of Health, but also in the fields of Education, Research, Sociology, Pedagogy, Politics, Labor, Social Security, among others 1,5,6 .…”

This study aims to evaluate the profile and knowledge of physiotherapists and occupational therapists from Minas Gerais about the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) application in professional practice, trying to understand the reason for the underutilization of this universal instrument in Brazil. Observational and cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire prepared by specialists. An email was sent to all physiotherapists and occupational therapists enrolled in the Regional Council of the 4th Region. Of 22,121 emails, 1,313 were answered. 53% of the sample had graduate certificate, 65% had between two to ten years of experience, and 62% reported that clinics and patients’ houses are the places where they work. 72% of the professionals knew the ICF and 84% correctly answered the meaning of the acronym. However, 71% of professionals are unaware of the fields that make up this classification. The first contact with the ICF happened during graduation to 50% of professionals, and 28% had never had contact with ICF. 74% reported not using it in clinical practice. However, 82% of the participants believed that the use of ICF is viable in clinical practice. Most professionals had graduate certificate, worked in clinics and patients’ homes and, although most of them claim to know the ICF, the largest portion of the sample reported they did not use this classification in their professional lives, even though believing the ICF use is feasible. The lack of knowledge about the ICF prevents professionals from complying with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Brazilian National Health Council (CNS) and COFFITO (Brazilian Federal Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy) on the adoption of this instrument in exchange of information about health and clinical practice.
