ICF Checklist

The ICF Checklist is a practitioner-only standardized functioning and disability profile tool for rehabilitation practitioners. It helps practitioners elicit and record a person's functioning across body, activity, participation, and contextual domains so rehabilitation planning can consider the whole functioning situation.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Whole-Functioning Coverage

The tool keeps body-level issues, activity, participation, and contextual factors visible together.

Partial Profiles

Incomplete domains remain visible so practitioners can judge profile coverage.

Contextual Factors

Uncertain contextual information should be recorded as unknown or not captured rather than forced into an interpretation.

History

Dated profiles can support longitudinal review when comparable checklist content is used.

Does the ICF Checklist generate a rehabilitation plan?

No. It creates a structured functioning profile that can inform planning, but it does not generate the plan itself.

Is there a client-facing form?

No. The product is practitioner-only, though the practitioner may elicit information from the person during assessment.

Can I add custom domains?

No. Adding unsupported domains would go beyond the represented ICF Checklist.

What happens if a domain is not complete?

The profile shows completed and incomplete domains so the practitioner can judge coverage.
