New models of disability and enablement are emerging, focusing on rehabilitation capacity. Advanced functional assessment tools improve the evaluation of rehabilitation outcomes and prediction of future needs.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Disability Studies
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Recent years have seen the development of several disability models.
  • These models share common elements, guiding research and practice.
  • A shift is occurring from disablement (impairment-handicap continuum) to enablement, emphasizing rehabilitation potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the convergence of new disability models and functional assessment tools.
  • To emphasize the focus on enablement and rehabilitation capacity.
  • To underscore the potential for improved evaluation of rehabilitation and forecasting of needs.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of recent disability models.
  • Review of evolving functional assessment measures.
