title: The benefits of using the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps in rehabilitation: a survey of 950 cases.
abstract: The case dossiers of 950 patients attending a rehabilitation centre were reviewed to permit appraisal of the value of the ICIDH for monitoring changes in disablement status under treatment. The approach was valuable for identifying people in need of rehabilitation services and for evaluating the care dispensed to such individuals. Certain problems in application of the ICIDH in practice are noted.
