The International Classification of Functioning, Disability & Health- Children & Youth (ICF-CY) is a framework for describing and organizing information on functioning and disability.
In this post we explore another category of the ICF-CY….activity! This is the heart and soul of physical therapy, at least in the clinic or during a home visit. The activity section of the ICF-CY describes what a person can do in a standard environment or their regular environment. Activity is defined as the execution of a task or action. The activity section includes the following:
- developmental skills that babies learn in the first year of life,
- gross motor skills at any age
- fine motor skills at any age
- activities of daily living/self-care
- gait
- communication
