Abstract

Illness and injury can lead to complex problems for patients and clinicians. A new approach from the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), may help manage such patients, and evaluate the success of the interventions used. The authors discuss the application of the ICF model.
