Moving around

Moving around using equipment

Getting into and out of a body position and moving from one location to another.

Staying in the same body position as required.

Raising up an object or taking something from one place to another.

Performing the coordinated actions of handling objects, picking up, manipulating and releasing them using one’s hand, fingers and thumb.

Performing the coordinated actions required to move objects or to manipulate them by using hands and arms.

Moving along a surface on foot, step by step, so that one foot is always on the ground.

Moving the whole body from one place to another by means other than walking.

Moving the whole body from place to place, on any surface or space, by using specific devices designed to facilitate moving or create other ways of moving around.

  1. aNote that power in physics is defined as energy output per unit of time, or the rate of doing work. Strength (force or torque output) and power (work/time) are separate physical parameters. However, the ICF-CY does not distinguish between strength and power. Therefore articles measuring strength were included in the category muscle power
  2. Inclusion:
  3. bFunctions associated with the power of specific muscles and muscle groups, muscles of one limb, one side of the body, the lower half of the body, all limbs, the trunk and the body as a whole
  4. cFunctions associated with the tension of isolated muscles and muscle groups, muscles of one limb, one side of the body and the lower half of the body, muscles of all limbs, muscles of the trunk, and all muscles of the body; impairments such as hypotonia, hypertonia and muscle spasticity
  5. dFunctions associated with sustaining muscle contraction for isolated muscles and muscle groups, and all muscles of the body
  6. eFunctions of stretch motor reflex, automatic local joint reflex, reflexes generated by noxious stimuli and other exteroceptive stimuli; withdrawal reflex, biceps reflex, radius reflex, quadriceps reflex, patellar reflex, ankle reflex, appearance and persistence of reflexes
  7. fFunctions of postural reactions, righting reactions, body adjustment reactions, balance reactions, supporting reactions, defensive reactions
  8. gFunctions of control of simple voluntary movements and of complex voluntary movements, coordination of voluntary movements, supportive functions of arm or leg, right left motor coordination, eye hand coordination, eye foot coordination; impairments such as control and coordination problems
  9. hFunctions of involuntary contractions of muscles; impairments such as tremors, tics, mannerisms, stereotypies, motor perseveration, chorea, athetosis, vocal tics, dystonic movements and dyskinesia
  10. iWalking patterns and running patterns
