Article

This study systemically reviewed the published literature on the ICF
core set. METHOD: A computer search of the MEDLINE, PubMed and SCOPUS databases
was conducted between 2001 and December 2012. Articles reporting on the
development of a set or sets of ICF categories for specific disease or health
conditions were selected for a systematic review. RESULTS: The analysis included
116 articles from 36 journals, with the majority of papers having been published
in 2011 and 2012. In these studies, spinal cord injury was the most frequently
reported disease. The majority of the experts involved in the consensus process
were physicians and physical therapists. CONCLUSION: This systematic review of
studies on ICF core sets provided background information on the current
developmental status of ICF core sets. Our findings also highlight possible
directions for future research.
