ICF Core Set Manual for Clinical Practice - Now in Chinese!

The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is the common framework to understand and describe functioning and disability. ICF Core Sets facilitate the description of functioning in clinical practice by providing lists of categories selected from the entire ICF for various health conditions and health care contexts. Published in English, German, Italian and now Chinese, this manual will soon be available in Korean, Spanish, Portugese and Malay. It includes:

• An introduction to the concepts of functioning and disability.

• A description of the development process of the ICF Core Sets and their purpose.

• An introduction to the application of the ICF Core Sets in clinical practice based on a documentation form and use cases.

• All available ICF Core Sets and corresponding documentation forms.  

This manual is inherently multi-professional and will be of benefit not only to practitioners in various health care settings, but alos for students and teachers.

The manual can be ordered directly from the publisher or online on various portals like Amazon, and many more... For the flyer on  the English version click here. For the Italian version click here and here for the German version.
