“…The ICF takes care of this within the category termed contextual factors [4]. In persons with vestibular disorders, sound (ICF category e250) and light (ICF category e240) are environmental factors within the environmental factors component of the ICF that can affect their perceived dizziness differently depending on where the person lives and works [8,9].…”

“…In persons with vestibular disorders, sound (ICF category e250) and light (ICF category e240) are environmental factors within the environmental factors component of the ICF that can affect their perceived dizziness differently depending on where the person lives and works [8,9]. Besides being relevant across cultures, the ICF is also applicable to various age groups and genders, assessing the individual on a broader level [4]. In order to address children in the context of their stages of development and the environments in which they live, the WHO has also created a manual by adding several concepts to the original ICF book that are related to childhood and youth (ICF Children and Youth) [54].…”

“…The authors of the ICF textbook [53] describe disability as not just a result of a health condition (diseases, disorders, and injuries) but also as its interaction with the patient's individual, biological and physical environment, the services available in and the attitude of the society towards the disability [15,28]. Newly developed capacity and performance' scales, designed to measure activities and participation of the patient, make the ICF not only a classification system but also assist in providing a description, quantification, and evaluation of disability at an individual and community level [4]. In the years since the existence of the ICF, the ICF has been used widely across disciplines and in various health conditions (diseases, disorders, and injuries) [47].…”

Vestibular disorders are commonly reported health conditions that lead to debilitating consequences. Activity limitations and participation restrictions are the main disabling consequences of vestibular disorders. Measuring activities and participation in people with vestibular disorders has been a challenge due to the absence of specialized outcome measures that quantify activities and participation based on a standardized framework such as the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The Vestibular Activities and Participation (VAP) questionnaire was developed to quantify activity limitations and participation restrictions in people with balance and vestibular disorders. Of the 34 items included in the VAP, 29 (85%) of the items had at least 25% or more of the respondents report that they had moderate to severe difficulty and 10 items had 40% or more of the participants report that they had difficulty with the activity or participation item. The psychometric properties of the VAP were examined and demonstrated very good reliability and validity in persons with balance and vestibular dysfunction and may be helpful in identifying activity and participation limitations.

“…Almansa et al 11 point out that a major goal of the classification is the systematic recording of information regardless of the method used in order to obtain or access these information. They also evidence that the classification should not be restricted only to the qualitative and/or conceptual use, but it should also be used as a statistical and epidemiological tool.…”

Objective:To systematically review the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in observational studies. Methods: This study is a systematic review of articles that use the ICF in observational studies. We took into account the observational design papers available in databases such as PubMed, Lilacs and SciELO, published in English and Portuguese from January 2001 to June 2011. We excluded those in which the samples did not comprise individuals, those about children and adolescents, and qualitative methodology articles. After reading the abstracts of 265 identified articles, 65 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 18 were excluded. The STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) adapted Checklist, with 15 items needed for observational studies, was applied to the 47 remaining articles. Any paper that met 12 of these criteria was included in this systematic review. Results: 29 articles were reviewed. Regarding the ICF application methodology, the checklist was used in 31% of the articles, the core set in 31% and the ICF categories in 31%. In the remaining 7%, it was not possible to define the applied methodology. In most papers (41%), qualifiers were used in their original format. As far as the area of knowledge is concerned, most of the studies were related to Rheumatology (24%) and Orthopedics (21%). Regarding the study design, 83% of the articles used cross-sectional studies. Conclusion: Results indicate a wide scientific production related to ICF over the past 10 years. Different areas of knowledge are involved in the debate on the improvement of information on morbidity. However, there are only a few quantitative epidemiological studies involving the use of ICF. Future studies are needed to improve data related to functioning and disability.

“…Some ICF scholars claim that the important consideration is not the division according to chapters but distinguishing capacity and performance. 22 According to this approach, all ICF categories of all activities and participation chapters can be viewed and assessed from the perspective of either capacity or performance. Future steps in the direction of the development of a clinical measure for functioning in SCI will also have to account for these distinctions.…”
