Here's my illustrated cartoon version of the WHO International Classification of Disability, Functioning, and Health (ICF), in the human context of a stroke.
My illustrated version of the WHO ICF, in the human context of stroke.
The ICF is a framework to help us understand the effect of disability on a persons life. It's full of terminology that is impersonal and not always self-explanatory. I designed this illustrated version for a Doctors' PhD thesis about a rehabilitation intervention for stroke which was presented recently at the European Stroke Organisation Conference in Milan, Italy.
I believe story is a helpful context to present medical topics and healthcare issues. It can have a deeper emotional level to it when done well, and reminds us of why the science matters in the first place. What do you think?
