The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a classification system designed by the World Health Organization. Using measurements based on ICF criteria it is possible to conduct a comprehensive functional assessment, identify patients' rehabilitation needs, formulate per-sonalized rehabilitation plans, evaluate the effects of rehabilitation, and promote comprehensive rehabilitation and social inclusion for stroke patients. This paper reviews the application of ICF-based measurement tools in stroke patients.
