“…Some articles have reported ICF-based information in order to describe disability associated with TBI, as indicated in a recent review [19]. These authors reported that, for ICF categories relating to Body Functions (BF), the majority of problems with TBI involve mental functions and movement functions, and in Body Structures (BS), the reported problems involve brain structures.…”

Purpose. To describe functioning and disability in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) according to the model endorsed by the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF). Methods. Adult patients with acquired TBI were consecutively enrolled. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM), the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHO-DAS II) and the ICF checklist were administered in individual sessions. Descriptive analyses were performed to report on FIM and WHO-DAS II scores. ICF categories reported as a problem by more than 20% of patients were described in detail. Results. One hundred patients (66 males, mean age 36.1) were enrolled. Mean WHO-DAS II score was 16.8, mean FIM was 116.5 and 87 ICF categories were selected: 27 Body Functions (mainly mental and movement-related) and Structures, 43 Activities and Participation (mainly connected with mobility) and 17 Environmental Factors. Negligible difference between capacity and performance qualifiers was observed.Conclusions. The ICF can be successfully implemented in clinical and rehabilitation of patients with TBI, because it enables to describe the variety of problems they encounter: ICF-derived data provide a holistic view of disability and enable the impact of service interventions on functioning and participation, and enable clinicians to tailor intervention according to patient's actual needs.

“…Those functional changes can be captured by the World Health Organization's (WHO, 2001) International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework. The ICF can be applied to individuals with brain injury as a standardized mechanism for documenting the complexity of functioning (Scarponi, Sattin, Leonardi, Raggi, & Zampolini, 2009) as well as functional changes in everyday life at the individual and societal levels (Bilbao et al, 2003). Moreover, implementation of this standardized framework, which encourages the use of a shared language, has the potential to facilitate multidisciplinary rehabilitation efforts (Bilbao et al, 2003).…”

Limited findings, lack of diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy data, and heterogeneity of assessments and interventions precluded robust evaluation of clinical implications for telepractice equivalence and the broader area of telepractice efficacy. Future research is needed that will build upon current knowledge through replication. In addition, further evaluation at the impairment and activity limitation/participation restriction levels is needed.

“…The authors point out that a wider utilization of the ICF can help to allocate resources to reach the improvement of the quality-of-life of patients with TBI. 16 Quality-of-life is also a concern in another article by Pierce and Hanks. 17 They tested whether the description of functioning based on the ICF can predict life satisfaction, concluding that a combination of ICF components and demographic factors significantly predicted life satisfaction.…”

Despite some criticism, the literature suggests that the ICF is useful as a model of health and disability and the basis for the development of practical instruments for description and assessment of functioning of persons with traumatic brain injury. Although challenging, time-consuming, and subject to limitations, linking existing medical records to the ICF can provide a clear functional profile of a patient or group with the additional advantage of being able to describe contextual factors.
