Análisis de un caso de afasia a través de la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud

This report describes, throughout an observational analysis, the advantages and disadvantages in the application of the Classification in a single case. We realized that the structured and systematic use of this classification enhances the patient description from a “biopsicosocial” view. Therefore, it helps to classificate the cognitive and motoric issues what are damaged (body functions and structures) and also the functional problems that belongs to that alteration (activities and participation). Moreover, it classificates the person environmental characteristics which have a positive or negative influence in his/her autonomy (environmental factors). In this way the intervention path is set in each case, becaming a useful tool to set up functional objectives in acquired brain injury patients.
