The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization (WHO) is an innovative classification that allows one to evaluate the individual’s health from a new perspective based on the dynamic relationships existing between the biological domain, the psychological one, and that of social interaction or participation. The aim of the ICF is to provide a standard, unified language for describing the health and disability status generated by the interaction between the individual and their environment. This article proposes a method for applying the Classification based on core sets.
