Comments on dysfunction, activity limitations, participation restriction and contextual factors in South African women with pelvic organ prolapse

Abstract

The ICF (World Health Organization 2001) is a classification system that allows operationalising the expanded concept of health, and universal language is one of the major advantages. Through alphanumeric codes, ICF covers several categories, in different domains of life, which standardise health information and avoid linguistic variations. Therefore, ICF taxonomy is essential in any report involving the ICF.
