According to The People with Disabilities Rights Protection Act, the local authority in Taiwan launched disability identifications based on the results of disability evaluation by a medical team since July 2012. The content of the disability evaluation includes body function and structures as well as activity and participations of the ICF/ICF-CY. The Functioning Scale of the Disability Evaluation System (FUNDES), Adult version and Child version, has been designed to assess the activities and participation based on the "WHO Disability Assessment Schedule II" and "Child and Family Follow-up Survey" separately. The Adult version of FUNDES contains 94 items, with performance and capability qualifiers in Domain 1 - 6 (Cognition, Mobility, Self-care, Getting alone, Life activities and Participation), and capability and capacity qualifiers in Domain 8 (Motor action). The Domain 7 (Environmental attributes) contains items that measure the perceived environmental barriers. The Child version of FUNDES contains 4 parts and 79 items: Physical and emotional health, Participation, the Child and Adolescent Factors Inventory, and the Child and Adolescent Scale of Environment. There are items with independence (capability) and frequency (performance) dimensions in the Participation part. This article introduces the scoring, the interpretation of the disability scores of the FUNDES and its clinical application by using two examples, one adult with stroke and one adolescent with cerebral palsy. Hope the main focus of the ICF, enhancing the full participation of people with disabilities in society, could be achieved through the application of the FUNDES. |
