Pediatric Rehab: ICF-CY Model

The document discusses the ICF-CY model as a framework for treatment in pediatric physical therapy. It notes that the medical model focuses only on disease, symptoms, diagnosis and cure, while the ICF-CY model takes a broader biopsychosocial approach describing how people deal with their health conditions. The ICF-CY model provides uniform language and direction for treating chronic conditions in children by focusing on body functions, activities, and participation rather than just the medical diagnosis. It gives examples of how the ICF-CY model can be used to assess patients and set both long and short-term treatment goals at the activity and participation level.
