  1. 1) The DASH Outcome Measure has recently been linked to the ICF [39] and was therefore only allocated to the components in the current table.
  2. 2) Work related information is not further classified because the methods of assessment were not further specified or not standardized, yet may be linked to d850.
  3. 3) not identified
  4. 4) Participation restrictions were not further specified in this study. Yet, due to the importance of occupational information for rehabilitation this study was included.
