The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes that the effects of physical impairments do not focus solely on the individual’s motor strengths and needs. Instead, the cultural influence of the family and community environments and the physical impairments are inter-related and impact one another. This is termed continuum of disablement and it includes three levels: impairment, disability, and handicap.
The International Classification of Impairments, Disease, and Handicaps defines each of these levels.
- Impairment is a loss or abnormality of structure or function.
- Disability is defined as the restriction or inability to perform an activity in the manner considered normal for humans.
- Finally, handicap is the social and psychological results of the impairment. Handicap refers to the problems and labels that society uses when associated with disabilities
A disability is a personal functional limitation. A handicap is an environmental or attitudinal barrier.
