To present the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a standard in disability evaluation and to discuss the usefulness and challenges of the ICF when applied in disability evaluation.
Disability evaluation can be described and measured using the ICF and ICF-related tools such as the Generic Set, ICF Core Sets specific to health conditions or settings, and measurement instruments that have been linked to the ICF. Wide implementation of the ICF in disability evaluation, specifically in work disability and social security, is needed along with education on the ICF of those in occupational medicine, work rehabilitation, disability adjudication, policy and legislation, and government agencies. The ICF can be used to provide disability criteria in determining functional and work capacity and as a reference framework and a language of disability to help facilitate a common ground of understanding.
将《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF）作为残疾评估的标准，讨论在残疾评估中应用 ICF 的有用性和挑战。
可以使用 ICF 及其相关工具（如通用分类、特定于健康状况或环境的 ICF 核心分类以及与 ICF 相关联的测量工具）来描述和测量残疾。需要在职业医学、工作康复、残疾裁决、政策和立法以及政府机构中对 ICF 进行教育，以广泛将 ICF 应用于残疾评估，特别是在工作残疾和社会保障方面。ICF 可用于提供残疾标准，以确定功能和工作能力，并作为残疾的参考框架和语言，以帮助促进共识。
