We report on a coastal experiment to study GPS L1 reflections. The campaign was carried out at the Barcelona Port breaker and dedicated to the development of sea-state retrieval algorithms. An experimental system built for this purpose collected and processed GPS data to automatically generate a times series of the interferometric complex field (ICF). The ICF was analyzed off line and compared ...

OBJECTIVES Variables from a study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis were linked to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the ICF Core Sets for rheumatoid arthritis for assessing the functional outcomes of the rheumatoid hand. DESIGN Prospective cohort. SUBJECTS A total ...

This study was aimed to identify and evaluate the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) key codes for dysphagia in stroke patients. Thirty patients with dysphagia after stroke were enrolled in our study. To evaluate the ICF dysphagia scale, 6 scales were used as comparisons, namely the Barthel Index (BI), Repetitive Saliva Swallowing Test (RSST), Kubota Water Swallowing Test (KWST),...

[Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the mediating effect of gross motor function, measured using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and of general function, measured using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Child and Youth Check List (ICF-CY), on the ICF domains of activity and participation in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

OBJECTIVE To analyze the content of outcome measures commonly used to assess health in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) by linking the items of the instruments with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in order to evaluate the adequacy of currently used measures. METHODS Questionnaires used in FM were identified in a structured literature search. All con...

BACKGROUND This paper describes the development and psychometric properties of the Health and Functioning ICF-60 (HF-ICF-60) measure, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) 'International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: ICF' (2001). The aims of the present study were to test psychometric properties of the HF-ICF-60, developed as a measure that would be responsive to ...

The goal of this paper is to report on the background and the methods used in the ICF Core Set development for patients in the acute hospital and early post-acute rehabilitation facilities. ICF Core Sets are sets of categories out of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) which can serve as minimal standards for the assessment, communication and reporting o...

OBJECTIVES To link validated and widely used instruments measuring physical functional ability in ankylosing spondylitis to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and to compare their contents, based on the results of the linking process. METHODS The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Dougados Functional Index (DFI), the Health Ass...

INTRODUCTION Although deemed a globally accepted framework, there remains scare evidence on the process and outcome of implementing the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) within neurorehabilitation. OBJECTIVES This review briefly explores the existing, broader literature and then reports on two action research projects, undertaken in England, specifically...

Document classification nowadays is an easy thing to do because there are the latest methods get maximum results. using term weighting TF-IDF-ICF method has been widely studied. Documents used in this research generally use large documents. If TF-IDF a short text document such as Thesis Title, will not perfect score from Because IDF calculate weight of words that always appear be few, ICF often...
