ALGORITHM FOR FORMULATION A REHABILITATION DIAGNOSIS USING THE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONINGIN A PATIENT WITH A STROKE

Abstract

Introduction.The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a universal system for assessing the health of the body as a whole, as well as problems that limit life. Using the ICF, it is possible at the level of the body, personality and society to quite accurately investigate the nature and severity of disabilities. Subsequently, this will make it possible, on a scientific basis, to substantiate the need and volume of rehabilitation measures and social protection. For medical professionals, one of the main criteria for using the ICF is the ability to formulate a rehabilitation diagnosis, which in turn makes it possible to determine the goal, objectives, rehabilitation program, and in the future to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures. In the formulation of a rehabilitation diagnosis, the coding for the ICF domains is used. Rehabilitation diagnosis is a description of structural and functional disorders that have arisen in a patient as a result of a stroke, which entailed a restriction of activity and participation, the possibility of using environmental factors that may facilitate or hinder the performance of the described functions by the patient. Purpose of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm for the formation of a rehabilitation diagnosis using ICF domains, tests and scales on a clinical example of a patient who has had a stroke.Conclusion.The ICF evaluates all components of a post-stroke patient's health. The ICF is used in the preparation of a rehabilitation diagnosis and justifies the use of methods of medical rehabilitation. Formation of a rehabilitation diagnosis based on the principles of ICF is a key point in determining short-term and long-term goals for the patient, as well as assessing the rehabilitation potential and prognosis, drawing up an individual plan for medical rehabilitation and further recommendations upon discharge. Our experience of rehabilitation in the post-stroke period has shown that the use of the international classification of functioning in the formulation of a rehabilitation diagnosis in this category of patients allows for a higher efficiency of medical rehabilitation in general.
