Identification of intervention categories for physical therapy, based on the international classification of functioning, disability and health: a Delphi exercise.

Background And Purpose: Disability or limitations in human functioning are universal experiences that concern all people. Physical therapists aim to improve functioning and prevent disability. With the approval of the new International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), we can now rely on a globally recognized framework and classification to be used in different health care situations by all health care professionals in multidisciplinary teams.
