Guide for use: | This metadata item contributes to the definition of the concept 'Disability' and gives an indication of the experience of disability for a person. Impairments of body structure are problems in body structure such as a loss or significant departure from population standards or averages. Use only one code. Select the one that best describes the situation with this structure. Combinations are not possible. CODE 0 More than one region (except both sides) Used when the impairment is present in more than one body location (but not bilaterally see code 3); for example when burn scars affect many areas of skin. CODE 1 Right Used when the impairment is present to the right of the midline of the person's body. CODE 2 Left Used when the impairment is present to the left of the midline of the person's body. CODE 3 Both sides (bilateral) Used when the impairment is two-sided and disposed on opposite sides of the midline axis of the body, for example bilateral joint deformities. CODE 4 Front Used when the impairment is present in front of a line passing through the midline of the body when viewed from the side. CODE 5 Back Used when the impairment is present behind a line passing through the midline of the body when viewed from the side. CODE 6 Proximal Used when the impairment is situated towards the point of origin or attachment, as of a limb or bone (opposed to distal), for example the end of the structure that is closer to the centre of the body. CODE 7 Distal Used when the impairment is situated away from the point of origin or attachment, as of a limb or bone (opposed to proximal), for example the end of structure that is further away from the centre of the body. CODE 8 Not specified Used when there is an impairment of body structure but the location of the impairment is not recorded. CODE 9 Not applicable Used when it is not appropriate to code the location of an impairment of body structure. |

Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | This data element is to be used in conjunction with specified body structures, for example, 'impairment of proximal structures related to movement'. This data element may also be used in conjunction with Person—extent of impairment of body structure, code (ICF 2001) N and Person—nature of impairment of body structure, code (ICF 2001). |
