What this paper is

This is a narrative review and resource guide describing the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework and its application in physiotherapy. It outlines the philosophy of classification, lists various assessment tools (such as WHODAS 2.0 and ICF Core Sets), and advocates for better data recording and coding in clinical practice. It reports no original patient data, no comparative outcomes, and no specific intervention effects, so there are no clinical findings here to change your practice on.
