Application of the Brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health Core Set as a Conceptual Model in Distal Radius Fractures

The results demonstrated that it is possible to reliably model the relative contributions of each ICF domain to patient satisfaction over time, and the findings are consistent with previous research (ie, that most outcome variation is due to physical or functional factors). These results are strong enough to support continued use and further research using the ICF model for upper extremity outcomes.
