Objective:
To assess knowledge related to the ICF before and after an ICF training and to identify items to compose a monocentric rehabilitation ICF code set for cerebral palsy (CP).
Methods:
(a)
Design:
A cross-sectional study with a descriptive-explorative design. (b)
Participants:
Professionals from the fields of physiotherapy, nutrition, dentistry, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, speech therapy and medicine. (c)
Instrument:
A questionnaire to assess ICF's knowledge (total score = 17).
Results:
A high effect size of the ICF training was found (Cohen's d = 4.10). Ninety-one and 43 ICF categories were selected for a comprehensive evaluation and triage, respectively, for CP.
Conclusion:
ICF categories were identified to compose a comprehensive evaluation and for triage through an ICF code sets for CP. Studies are needed to validate the instrument on the knowledge of the ICF and to test the impact of ICF's training for clinical rehabilitation of CP.
