The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health was created in 2001 with the aim of promoting a universally accepted conceptual framework to classify and describe functioning, disability and health from a biopsycosocial perspective. This classification is very useful in the rehabilitation field because it provides a way of describing the health status of a patient based on an universally globally agreed perspective and moreover neutral.
