Body functions are physiologic functions of the body (including psychological functions) (Figure 8-1). Thus impairments are problems in body function or structure such as a significant deviation or loss. FIGURE 8-1 This chapter discusses documentation pertaining to body structures and functions, based on the ICF framework.
