Abstract
International classification of functioning (ICF) is a "common language" to describe health and disability. It gives detailed operational definitions of different functions that constitute health. From body functions such as vision, hearing, to activities of daily living and participation in societal life, ICF has brought international consensus on definitions and provided a framework to describe health and disability.
