Scope

Scope: This document provides guidance and recommendations for the evaluation of ICF activities and participation scales and their specific applications, outlining the key points to consider when evaluating items in six domains: understanding and communication, physical activity, self-care, social interaction, daily living activities, and social participation.

It can be used by medical personnel, public health management systems, and relevant government departments. Note: For patients with illnesses that have occurred less than 30 days ago, their health status and health-related conditions should be evaluated based on the actual number of days of illness.

To date, the standard for using this scale has been promoted and applied after unified and standardized training in Shanghai. For better compatibility with ICF-based disease evaluation scales in the future to assess patients' overall health function, the evaluation standards for each item have been unified and modified to a five-level sc
