Clinical Reasoning and the International Classification of Functioning: A Linking Framework

Abstract
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has been promoted as a universal framework for allied health professionals since its introduction in 2001 by the World Health Organization. This article explores the links between the ICF (as a "unifying language") and clinical reasoning (as a "language of practice"), and proposes a linking framework to stimulate discussion around a model that could both guide and teach therapy-based decision-making processes. The inclusion of the ICF into practice, via clinical reasoning, will encourage a broad and consistent approach to health care within the occupational therapy profession.
