Definition: | Impairments of body structure are problems in body structure such as a loss or significant departure from population standards or averages. |
Context: | Body structures are classified in ICF in neutral terms. To indicate that there is a problem with a body structure requires the use of the body structures code for the structure affected and the impairment extent code to denote the extent or magnitude of the problem. The impairment nature and impairment location codes can be used to expand the description of a problem with a body structure. |
