Here is the completed ICF (International Classification of Functioning and Diagnosis) for Osteoarthritis (OA):
ICF - Osteoarthritis (OA)
Table 1: Body Structural Impairment
| Body Structural Impairment | Clinical Reasoning | Evaluation (Investigations) |
|---|---|---|
| Loss of articular cartilage (knee/hip/hand joints) | Cartilage degradation leads to joint space narrowing and bone-on-bone friction | X-ray: reduced joint space, osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis |
| Osteophyte (bone spur) formation | Periarticular new bone forms as a repair response to cartilage loss | X-ray / MRI: marginal osteophytes |
| Subchondral bone changes (sclerosis/cysts) | Increased mechanical stress on bone beneath cartilage causes remodeling | X-ray: subchondral sclerosis, cyst formation |
Table 2: Body Functional Impairment
| Body Functional Impairment | Clinical Reasoning | Evaluation (Investigations) |
|---|---|---|
| Pain (joint pain at rest and on movement) | Synovial inflammation, capsular stretching, periosteal irritation from osteophytes | VAS / NRS pain scale; clinical examination |
| Decreased ROM (range of motion) | Capsular fibrosis, osteophyte impingement, joint effusion | Goniometry; functional movement testing |
| Muscle weakness (quadriceps wasting in knee OA) | Pain inhibition + disuse atrophy leads to reduced muscle strength | Manual muscle testing (MMT); dynamometry |
| Joint stiffness (morning stiffness < 30 min) | Synovial fluid viscosity changes after rest | Clinical history; Timed Up and Go (TUG) test |
| Crepitus | Roughened cartilage surfaces rubbing against each other | Clinical examination; auscultation over joint |
Table 3: Activity Limitations and Participation Restrictions
| Activity Limitations | Participation Restrictions |
|---|---|
| Brushing, Bathing, Combing Hair (hand/shoulder OA) | Communication (if hand OA affects writing/typing) |
| ADLs - dressing, toileting, cooking | Lifting/Carrying objects (groceries, luggage) |
| Difficulty climbing stairs, squatting, sitting cross-legged | Transportation - unable to use public transport or walk long distances |
| Difficulty walking long distances or on uneven surfaces | Driving (limited hip/knee flexion, pain on pedal use) |
| Difficulty rising from chair/floor | Social/recreational activities, sports, religious activities (e.g., sitting on floor for prayer) |
Contextual Factors
| Environmental/Personal Facilitator | Environmental Barrier |
|---|---|
| Hospital nearby | Stairs without railing (barrier for knee OA) |
| Transportation facility available | Absence of lift/elevator (barrier) |
| Toilet facility (raised toilet seat, grab bars) | Squat toilet (barrier - painful and mechanically disadvantageous) |
| Family support (caregiver assistance) | No |
| Walking aid (stick/walker) available | Uneven or slippery flooring |
Goals
Short Term Goals (0-4 weeks):
- Reduce joint pain by 50% on VAS scale
- Improve knee/hip ROM by 20 degrees
- Improve quadriceps strength by 1 grade on MMT
- Independent in basic ADLs (dressing, bathing, toileting)
- Patient education on joint protection and activity modification
Long Term Goals (4-12 weeks):
- Full independence in ADLs and IADLs
- Return to community ambulation without pain
- Improve balance and reduce fall risk (TUG < 12 seconds)
- Return to participation in social, recreational, and occupational activities
- Prevent further joint deterioration through a home exercise program
Note: The template follows the WHO ICF framework - Body Structure, Body Function, Activity, Participation, and Contextual Factors - applied specifically to a patient presenting with Osteoarthritis. Adapt individual rows based on the specific joint involved (knee, hip, hand) and patient profile.
