PMID 42181831WHAT IT FOUND
There is no finding to act on.
This is a discussion paper, not a study of patients.
What this paper is
This is a discussion paper asking whether rehabilitation and disability inclusion can be reconciled. It proposes the International Classification of Functioning as a shared goal, but it reports no methods, no patients and no outcomes, so there is no finding to change practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that rehabilitation and disability advocacy are compatible. It is a conceptual discussion and reports no patient outcomes.
