Fig. 1 — The ICF-CY is grounded on an interactive bio-psycho-social model of functioning. Independent of diagnosis, the ICF-CY provides detailed classifications in the components of body functions (i.e., physiological functions of body systems), body structures (i.e., anatomical parts of the body), activities (i.e., execution of tasks), participation (i.e., involvement in life situations), and environmental factors (i.e., physical, social and attitudinal environment). ICF-CY framework also includes personal factors that are inherent to the individual but not part of the individual’s primary health condition, such as gender, race/ethnicity, educational level and coping strategies. However, personal factors are not classified in the ICF-CY due to their large social and cultural variability (WHO 2001, 2007)
