Conceptual Application of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Model to address stroke outcome measures

Soumya S

Abstract :

This paper is a discussion of the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Model to guide the investigation of any intervention in improving outcome of stroke. The purpose of this article is to suggest ICF model indelivering care. In applying this model to stroke patients, this model is precise. Although in this model the separation of Activity and Participation domains is not always clear, especially where activities can be undertaken alone; this is also taken as evidence of societal participation. Those in the field of rehabilitation nursing should adapt this model to practice.
