Understanding and Utilizing ICF Guidelines, CPGs, and Lumbar TBC

Course overview

This course helps the learner understand and integrate several classification systems and guidelines. First, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) assists all healthcare professionals with speaking a consistent language and understanding the multifaceted impact of a health condition on an individual's life. The second chapter covers clinical practice guidelines: how they're developed, where to find them, and how to best use them. Lastly, the lumbar treatment-based classification (TBC) system is discussed, which removes the ambiguity of a pathoanatomical diagnosis and provides a straightforward direction for treatment.
