Abstract:
Implementation of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) started in 2001 with the unanimous endorsement of the classification by the 54th World Health Organization (WHO) as a framework for describing and measuring health and disability. In recent years, the ICF has been increasingly applied to research and development in China, and has influenced the policies of the Chinese Disabled Person Enterprise and Chinese Rehabilitation Career. This paper introduces the translation, training and spread of ICF and its application in the fields of medicine, society and education in China.
