Q

what are the four underlying principles of the ICF

A

universality- applicable to all people irrespective of health conditions and in all physical social and cultural contexts; acknowledges anyone can have a disability
not to label people with disabilities as a separate group of people

parity and aetiological- not an explicit or implicit distinction between different health conditions whether mental or physical; all health conditions on equal footing

neutrality - neutral language, so it can be used to classify both positive or negative aspects of functioning and disability

environmental influence - the ICF includes environmental factors in recognition of the important role of environment in peoples functioning

23
Q

note that the personal factors are apart of the interactive model but not the

A

ICF

24
Q

what is the components of the ICF hierarchically arranged domains

A

sets of related physiological functions anatomical structures actions tasks areas of life and external influences

25
Q

the ICF is a framework and classification system on which

A

tools for measuring or assessing individual functioning may be based and to which they can be mapped

26
Q

define qualifiers

A

are codes used to record the extent of functioning or disability in a domain or category or the extent to which an environmental factor is a facilitator or barrier

27
Q

a uniform or generic qualifier is

A

provided to record the extent of the problem in relation to impairment activity limitation and participation restriction

28
Q

what is the environmental factors qualifier

A

uses both a positive and negative scale to indicate the extent to which an environmental factor acts as either a facilitator or barrier to functioning

29
Q

two constructs are _ and_ can be used in operationalising the qualifier scale for the activities and participation domains

A

performance and capacity
these constructs provide a way of indicating how the environment impacts on a persons activities and participation and how environmental change may improve a persons functioning

30
Q

define capacity

A

relates to what an individual can do in a standardized environment. this often involve some kind of clinical assessment

31
Q

33
Q

the ICF is a strong fit for recreational therapy due to the use of

A

environmental and personal contextual domains as facilitators or barriers to participation in community life

provides a clear clinical structure for the recreational therapist to both improve the activity and functioning domains while also mitigating barriers and capitalizing on strengths within contextual domains to improve overall participation in society

34
Q

what are the principals for ICF that translate to RT

A

provides the care provider with more then a medical diagnosis

the focus is on the functional capacity and the provision of optimal life experiences for the individual. it is strength-based

reconceptualization of chronic illness and disability into the continuum of health and function help to remove the stigma and isolation seen in the past

35
Q

how has the RT embraced the ICF

A

a family education and community reintegration program
