ICF/WHO Model and Movement Systems Flashcards
ICF(WHO) Model Explanation =
classification of three health related domains that describe body functions and structures, activities and participation
interaction is bi-directional
incorrect to infer a limitation in capacity from a given impairment
necessary to examine all the constructs independently and then explore associations between them
A list of environmental and personal factors is included because =
an individual’s functioning and ability levels emerge according to their individual context.
Interventions in one area can potentially modify =
other components producing the dynamic interaction among the domains and contextual factors.
Body component is comprised of two separate classifications =
body functions and body structures
Body functions are the =
physiological functions of body systems (including psychological functions)
Body structures are =
anatomical parts of the body (for example organs, limbs and their components)
Activities and Participation =
denotes components of functioning from both an individual and a societal perspective
Tasks can be coded independently as activity or participation, and they can also be coded as both, indicating an overlap between the domains
Activity is the =
“execution of a task or action by an individual”
Participation is =
“involvement in a life situation”
“involvement” is defined as “taking part, being included or engaged in an area of life, being accepted, or having access to needed resources.”
Performance qualifier =
describes what an individual does in their present environment
More specifically, performance can be defined as “involvement in a life situation” in the actual context in which they live
Capacity qualifier =
describes how an individual executes a task or an action in a given environment at a given moment
This is often a “standardized” environment in an attempt to assess the full ability of the individual
Environmental factors =
composed of the interplay between the physical, social and the attitudinal world
Examples: the interactions between air quality and breathing, light and seeing, sounds and hearing, and ground surface and balance
Environmental factors can also be extrinsic to the individual (e.g. the attitudes of the society, the legal system, environmental barriers)
Personal factors =
the other component of contextual factors
They are not specifically classified due to the variability between social and cultural characteristics
include such items such as: gender, race, age, education level, coping styles and fitness
History and Interview =
Gain an understanding of the patient as an individual
Determine roles, goals and expectations
Enablement Perspective =
-Individuals participation and roles
-Explores skills and resources required for fulfilling those roles
