Agenesis of the corpus callosum: classifying functional manifestations with the ICF-CY

Abstract

This taxonomic application advances the ICF-CY as a common language for researchers and clinicians who work with children who have ACC. Implications for Rehabilitation Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a condition that has been broadly conceptualized and inconsistently described in research and practice. The variable clinical manifestations of children with ACC can be most effectively described using the ICF-CY. The application of the ICF-CY to conditions with highly variable clinical manifestations, like ACC, positively impacts research and practice.

Applicability of the ICF-CY in evaluating children with disabilities and family support: an integrative literature review

“…This category is composed of two thematic variables: rehabilitation 8,21-24 and research [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] .…”

“…In the theme related to researches, the studies aimed at: demonstrating how the universal language of the ICF-CY may increase the specificity with which researchers and clinics describe the varying manifestations of the Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (ACC); examining and synthesizing the knowledge available in literature concerning the instruments used in relation to functionality in children with CP; identifying the concepts of outcome measurements in clinical trials in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), analyzing how these concepts relate to ICF-CY and describing which functioning components are mostly assessed; associating the subcategories of the ICF to the items of the Assessment of Motor Coordination and Dexterity (abbreviated in Portuguese as Acoordem) and determining whether the items of the Acoordem fit into the structure of the ICF; seeing how the content of the deficiency measures differed in five researches in the USA and throughout time; carrying out a systematic review regarding the use of ICF in observational studies; evaluating up to what point the instruments intended for measuring the participation of children are actually effective, and whether their items can be classified according to ICF-CY; cataloging the ICF codes regarding Dentistry; verifying whether the ICF scales and the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) are related, and verifying whether the functional objectives are properly related to the two standard measures; examining and comparing the content of the Quality of Life in Short Stature Youth (QoLISSY) questionnaires to the ICF-CY; identifying the most relevant categories of the ICF-CY for evaluating patients [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] .…”

“…There was a high degree of correspondence between the reported findings and the taxonomy codes of the ICF-CY. This use identifies ICF-CY as a common language for researchers and clinics who work with children with ACC 25 31 carried out a systematic study from January, 2000 to May, 2011, made in the terms of the participatory research, outcome measurement and children, aiming to identify the potential participation of those children. The instruments were obtained through identified full text articles and were assessed for inclusion by means of group discussion.…”

On the outside looking in: a phenomenological study of the lived experience of Australian adults with a disorder of the corpus callosum

“…There are no data informing prevalence of adults diagnosed in adulthood. DCCs are heterogeneous in cause and presentation [ 14 ] and are inconsistently described and conceptualised [ 23 ].…”

Avaliação funcional de crianças com deficiências: fatores contextuais e familiares para o desenvolvimento infantil

“…A versão da CIF focalizada para crianças e jovens (CIF-CJ) foi elaborada por especialistas internacionais e aceito por todos os países membros da OMS. Seu objetivo é comparar internacionalmente os níveis de saúde das crianças e jovens, fornecendo uma linguagem comum para descrever aspectos universais de funcionalidade e deficiência [8][9][10].…”
