Overview
A functional evaluation, not just an etiological one, is essential for the evaluation of the quality of life of persons with any type of disability. Disability is defined as a condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions). In accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is used to assess disability. In 2020, a second updated version of this classification was published in the Czech language, which is freely accessible in an electronic version on the website of the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic. Below in the text, not only the structure of ICF classification, but also the assessment methodology according to this classification is described. At the end of the article, there are several simple sample examples of how to proceed correctly in self-assessment. The presented article is intended to help with basic orientation in the issue of functional assessment according to ICF.
