The ICF Core Sets selected for this book have now been developed to facilitate the standardized use of the ICF in real-life clinical practice and thus improve quality of care. By using this collection of clear checklists, definitions, and forms, clinicians will quickly and easily be able to assess clients with a range of typical health conditions at different stages and in a variety of health care contexts. This manual: * Introduces the concepts of functioning and disability * Describes how and why the ICF Core Sets have been developed * Shows, step-by-step, how to apply the ICF Core Sets in clinical practice * Includes all 31 ICF Core Sets plus documentation forms (more than 1,400 pages of printable PDFs) on a CD-ROM. This manual is inherently multi-professional and will be of benefit not only for practitioners working in various health care contexts but also for students and teachers.
