The objective of the present study was the analysis of the comprehensive rehabilitation programs for the patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They were based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set. The authors have undertaken the evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation for two groups of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had received the treatment based at different medical facilities (clinical hospitals, spa and health resorts). It was demonstrated that the use of the ICF core set for rheumatoid arthritis proved helpful for the development of a comprehensive rehabilitation program, the optimal distribution of responsibilities between the professionals, and the correct evaluation of the effectiveness of the programs. The implementation of the rehabilitation program based on the ICF core set resulted in a more effective sequence of the rehabilitation measures. The comprehensive rehabilitation program elaborated based the core set of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health possesses ensured a highly efficient rehabilitation that permits to consider it as a practical rehabilitation technology that can be recommended for a wide clinical application.

Core Set

Background and PurposeThe Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) represents the typical spectrum of problems in the functioning of patients with RA. The objective of this study was to validate this ICF Core Set from the perspective of physical therapists.MethodsPhysical therapists were asked about their intervention goals in a 3-round Delphi survey. Intervention goals were compiled, and the physical therapists were asked whether they considered the goal classes to be relevant. The goal classes then were linked to the ICF.ResultsA total of 82 physical therapists in 12 countries named 562 intervention goals. A total of 45 goal classes covering all ICF components were identified. The goal classes addressing muscle tone, balance and coordination, and psychological distress were not represented in the ICF Core Set for RA.Discussion and ConclusionThe validity of the ICF Core Set for RA was largely supported. However, some categories currently not covered by the ICF Core Set for RA will need to be investigated further.
