Commentary on “ICF from an occupational therapy perspective in adult care: An integrative literature review”

Abstract

This letter to the editor is in response to the article by Pettersson, Pettersson and Frisk entitled, “ICF from an occupational therapy perspective in adult care: an integrative literature review”. Given the breadth of this topic, the authors have done an admirable job in their survey of the topic. One area we felt deserved additional attention was the inadequate way the ICF classification system codes mobility assistive technology use. We also offer a point of clarification about the Wheelchair Outcome Measure, which was identified incorrectly as the only wheelchair specific measure that could measure activity and participation

Key words::

• activity
• participation
• wheeled mobility
