The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a global framework developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to measure and understand health and disability. It provides a comprehensive approach that looks at the impact of health conditions on individuals' functioning in society, rather than focusing solely on the diagnosis or impairment. The ICF highlights the interplay between a person's health condition, their environment, and personal factors, emphasizing the importance of inclusion, accessibility, and support in fostering participation and well-being for all individuals.
