Vestibular rehabilitation focuses at decreasing the impact of symptoms, such as vertigo dizziness and imbalance have on people's daily life and their role in society. The international Classification of Functioning Disability and Health - ICF offers a unified and standard language and framework for describing health and health related states. The ICF aims at facilitating communication information about health, like functioning and disability. For this purpose the ICF has a systematic coding scheme for health data with more than 1400 categories. The big number of categories is impractical to apply in a specific area like vestibular disorders. Therefore a narrowing down to the relevant categories in a comprehensive core set for vertigo (100 categories) and a brief core set (29 categories) were developed. The purpose of this article is to reflect on the potential use of ICF in vestibular rehabilitation.
前庭康复的重点在于减轻症状对患者日常生活和社会角色的影响，这些症状包括眩晕、头晕和平衡障碍。《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF）为描述健康和健康相关状况提供了统一和标准的语言和框架。ICF 的目的是促进有关健康信息（如功能和残疾）的交流。为此，ICF 为健康数据制定了一个系统的编码方案，其中包含 1400 多个类别。如此庞大的类别数量在像前庭障碍这样的特定领域中实际应用是不切实际的。因此，制定了一个全面的眩晕核心集（100 个类别）和简短的核心集（29 个类别），对相关类别进行了细化。本文旨在探讨 ICF 在前庭康复中的潜在应用。
