ICF Framework

The ICF Framework, developed by the World Health Organization, is a way to understand and describe health and functioning. It considers not only medical conditions but also how a person's environment, personal factors, and social context influence their ability to perform daily activities. Instead of just focusing on diseases or symptoms, the ICF looks at body functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors to provide a comprehensive view of a person's health and well-being. This helps healthcare professionals develop more personalized and effective plans to support individuals in various aspects of life.
