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. Data can be collected at the three digit level in one chapter and at the chapter level in another. However it is only possible to collect data at a single level of the hierarchy in a single chapter to maintain mutual exclusivity. For example, it is not permitted to collect both Exercise tolerance functions (3 digit level) and 'fatigability' (4-digit level) as the former includes the latter. The value domain below refers to the highest hierarchical level (ICF chapter level). Data collected at this level, in association with Impairment extent code N will use the codes as indicated. CODE b1 Mental functions Data collected at this level will provide a general description of the structures and can only be compared with data collected at the same level. Each chapter contains categories at different levels ordered from general to detailed. For more detailed information the user should follow the structure of the ICF; the codes should be drawn from the same hierarchical level within any particular chapter. The full range of permissible values together, with definitions is listed in the Body Functions component of the ICF. An example of a value domain at the 3 digit level from the Sensory functions and pain chapter may include:
An example of a value domain at the 4 digit level from the body function component may include: CODE b1300 Energy level
