This study developed the Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set and Brief ICF Core Set for stroke through an expert consensus process, providing standardized tools for assessing stroke patients.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a standardized framework for describing health and disability.
  • Developing comprehensive and brief sets of ICF categories is crucial for consistent assessment and research in stroke rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the first version of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for stroke.
  • To develop the Brief ICF Core Set for stroke.
  • To integrate evidence from preliminary studies into a formal consensus process.

Main Methods:

  • A formal decision-making and consensus process was employed.
  • Preliminary studies included a Delphi exercise, systematic review, and empirical data collection.

  • International experts identified relevant ICF categories based on evidence and consensus.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 448 ICF categories were initially identified across body functions, body structures, activities/participation, and environmental factors.
    • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set for stroke includes 130 second-level ICF categories.
    • The Brief ICF Core Set for stroke comprises 18 second-level ICF categories.

    Conclusions:

    • The ICF Core Sets for stroke were defined through a formal consensus process integrating evidence and expert opinion.
    • The Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Sets provide standardized tools for stroke assessment.
    • These ICF Core Sets facilitate consistent data collection and research in stroke care.
