An integrated approach to the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis from the position of the international classification of functioning by R. R. Ahunova, G. R. Ahunova

“…The IСF classifies the different areas of each patient’s life that are health-related and affect health, thus describing changes in their physical functioning and psychological well-being. It helps to introduce multidisciplinary, patient-centered, problem-oriented rehabilitation care into the real work of clinics.The IСF shows a broader and more meaningful picture of the patient’s health, which allows the multidisciplinary team to consider the patient from different perspectives — biological, personal and social. …”
