Disablement Models Lecture Notes

Vocabulary flashcards reviewing concepts, terms, and frameworks from the lecture on disablement models, including Nagi, ICIDH, and ICF.

Disablement

The process of how a disease, injury, or health condition impacts a person's body, their ability to perform daily tasks, and their role in society.

Nagi's Disablement Model

Introduced in 1965 by Saad Nagi as the first disablement model, stating that the consequences of disease and injury for an individual should be described at both the level of the person and the level of society.

Active Pathology (Nagi Model)

Disruption or damage to normal cellular processes occurring at the cellular level.

Impairment (Nagi Model)

The loss or abnormality at the tissue, organ, or body system level, including clinical signs and symptoms.

Functional Limitation (Nagi Model)

Restrictions in the physical performance of basic tasks by the whole person.

Disability (Nagi Model)

Limitation in the performance of socially defined roles and tasks (such as work, school, sports, and civic duties) within a sociocultural and physical environment.

ICIDH

The International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps introduced by the WHO in 1980, which differentiated three distinct concepts: impairments, disabilities, and handicaps.

Impairment (ICIDH Model)

Any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure or function resulting from changes in the structure or functioning of the body.

Disability (ICIDH Model)

Restriction of ability resulting from an impairment to perform activities within the normal range.

Handicap (ICIDH Model)

A disadvantage resulting from an impairment or disability that limits or prevents the fulfillment of a normal role.

ICF

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health introduced by the WHO to classify functioning and disability at the level of body parts, the whole person, and the whole person in their environment.

Functioning (ICF Model)

An umbrella term used to denote positive or neutral aspects at each level of human function: body functions and structures, activities, and participation.

Disability (ICF Model)

An umbrella term used to denote a decrement at each level of human function, encompassing impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions.

Health Condition (ICF Model)

An umbrella term representing diseases, disorders, injury, trauma, aging, or congenital anomalies.

Body Functions (ICF Model)

The physiological functions of body systems, including psychological functions.

Body Structures (ICF Model)

Anatomical parts of the body such as organs, limbs, and their components.

Impairments (ICF Model)

Problems in body function or structure identified as a significant deviation or loss.

Activity (ICF Model)

The execution of a task or action by an individual.

Activity Limitations (ICF Model)

Difficulties an individual may have in executing specific activities.

Participation (ICF Model)

Involvement in a life situation.

Participation Restrictions (ICF Model)

Problems an individual may experience in involvement in life situations.

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

Also known as BADLs or PADLs; fundamental tasks oriented toward taking care of one's own body that enable basic survival and well-being, such as bathing, walking, and dressing.

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)

Complex tasks supporting daily life within the home and community that are necessary for living independently, such as financial management, driving, and meal preparation.

Environmental Factors (ICF Model)

The physical, social, and attitudinal environment in which people live and conduct their lives, acting as facilitators or barriers.
