Abstract:
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a useful framework and classification to better situate disability, health, and functioning. The ICF recognizes disability and functioning as the dynamic individual and environment interaction, promoting a more realistic perspective. This article describes the ICF, its utility, and its strengths/weaknesses.Keywords:

視覚障がい者はその視覚機能の低下により，歩行パフォーマンスが低下する．しかし，視覚機能の低下がロービジョン者（弱視者）の日常生活活動に及ぼす影響やロービジョン者の取り巻く環境が，日常生活活動に及ぼす影響までは言及した研究はほとんどない．本研究はロービジョン者の視覚機能，歩行パフォーマンスや移動状況，日常生活活動と環境因子の関係について，その関係性について考察することを目的とする．その結果，視覚機能や歩行パフォーマンスではなく，公共交通の利用という活動が参加（日常生活活動）に影響を与えていることや公共交通の利用頻度には，公共交通機関までの距離が影響していることなどを定量的に示すことができた．

Aims: Fifteen years after the publication of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), we investigated: How ICF applications align with ICF aims, contents and principles, and how the ICF has been used to improve measurement of functioning and related statistics.Methods: In a scoping review, we investigated research published 2001–2015 relating to measurement and statistics for evidence of: a change in thinking; alignment of applications with ICF specifications and philosophy; and the emergence of new knowledge.Results: The ICF is used in diverse applications, settings and countries, with processes largely aligned with the ICF and intended to improve measurement and statistics: new national surveys, information systems and ICF-based instruments; and international efforts to improve disability data. Knowledge is growing about the components and interactions of the ICF model, the diverse effects of the environment on functioning, and the meaning and measurement of participation.Conclusion: The ICF provides specificity and a common language in the complex world of functioning and disability and is stimulating new thinking, new applications in measurement and statistics, and the assembling of new knowledge. Nevertheless, the field needs to mature. Identified gaps suggest ways to improve measurement and statistics to underpin policies, services and outcomes.Implications for RehabilitationThe ICF offers a conceptualization of functioning and disability that can underpin assessment and documentation in rehabilitation, with a growing body of experience to draw on for guidance.Experience with the ICF reminds practitioners to consider all the domains of participation, the effect of the environment on participation and the importance of involving clients/patients in assessment and service planning.Understanding the variability of functioning within everyday environments and designing interventions for removing barriers in various environments is a vital part of rehabilitation planning.

International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health (ICF) is one of core classifications launched by WHO. This paper discussed interactive model of functioning and disability and terminological system based on ICF and approaches of the developments of standardized measurement instruments.

Implications of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) on the development and use of tests in school settings are enumerated. We predict increased demand for behavioural assessments that consider a person’s activities, participation and person-environment interactions, including measures that: (a) address contextual features; (b) rely on third-party respondents; (c) depend on observational approaches; (d) comprise batteries of tests developed simultaneously or co-normed and (e) emphasize process and progress monitoring. We review some tests from the United States that respond to each emerging demand and describe the international implications of these demands. We close by describing the implications of the ICF model and its associated changes in testing practices for service delivery and student outcomes.
