WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)

The WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a framework that standardizes how we understand and measure a person's health and abilities. It considers not just medical conditions but also how a person functions in daily life, influenced by their environment and personal factors. The ICF helps identify strengths and challenges in physical, mental, and social aspects, promoting a holistic view of health. It is used by healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers to improve services and support for individuals with various health conditions and disabilities.
