摘要

An ICF Core Set is a list of ICF categories relevant to people with a health condition or health-related event, such as LBP. [...] the ICF Core Set for LBP contains all areas of functioning that are evaluated and treated by all health care professionals, including physical therapists, as part of a multidisciplinary team.
