Determinants of disability using count-based approaches to icf-based definition of neurological disability
CONCLUSIONS: Results show that sociodemographic variables played a minor role, while health state information was a stronger determinant of severe disability. Compared to the reference value of TBI patients, those with MG, PD and epilepsy had higher odds to have severe difficulties undertaking daily activities despite the presence of environmental factors. Our results contrast with those of previous studies, mostly derived from general populations, showing the different impact of clinical and sociodemographic variables.

The ICF as a framework to collect and interpret data on the extent and variety of disability in neurological conditions
CONCLUSIONS: Records from 1310 patients were available. A total of 97 ICF categories were reported, and 21 were commonly addressed in more than five conditions. Approximately half of the categories in body functions were related to mental and movement-related functions and more than 25% of the activities-related categories involved activities that require the support from a caregiver. Environmental factors were mostly reported as facilitators. Our data indicate a residual mind-body dichotomy, the relevance of disability not only for the patients but also for their caregivers, and the difficulties in addressing barriers in ...
