Abstract

Objective: This study uses the assessment results from the new system of the disability assessment schedule to investigate the relationships between the short version of the WHODAS 2.0 and the body functions, activities and participation, and environmental factors in this schedule. The influence of using this assessment schedule on changes in disability levels is analyzed.Method: In total, this study recruits 148 individuals with disabilities in Hualien County as cases for study. The new system assessment schedule from the ICF's promotion program is adopted to perform an assessment. The assessment items include body functions, activities and participation, environmental factors, and the short version of the WHODAS 2.0. The Spearman's rho coefficient is used to analyze the relationships between body functions, activities and participation, environmental factors, and the short version of the WHODAS 2.0. The results of the new and old assessment systems, and changes in the level of disability in cases are calculated in percentages.Results: After comparing the original level of disability in cases with the body functions in the new disability assessment schedule, the relationship between the levels of disability in the old system and the ICF's body functions reached 0.540; the relationship between the one and the ICF's activity and participation reached 0.540.The relationship between the short version of the WHODAS 2.0 and the ICF's activities and participation reached 0.872. The results of the new and old assessment systems, and changes in the level of disability in cases are significantly different.Conclusion: A medium correlation is observed between the ICF core set assessment schedule and the disability classifications of the old system. A high correlation is observed between using the short version of the WHODAS 2.0 and the ICF core set activities and participation. The mild and severely level of disability have significantly different in the body function and activities and participation. (Tw J Phys Med Rehabil 2012; 40(2): 61 - 70)
