Abstract

This study presents the ICF Core Set for Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)/ Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and its construction process. The ICF Core Set for RSI/MSDs was created through successive consensuses among specialists in the workers' healthcare area throughout six phases, which involved from the assessment and the study of the ICF, followed by its reading and discussion, to the establishment of codes and comparison with the core sets of generalized pain and depression. For the "body functions" component, the chosen codes were related to the following aspects: mental, sensory, pain and neuromusculoskeletal functions, as well as movement functions. For the "body structures" component, the chosen codes were related to the following aspects: nervous system structures and those related to movement. For the "activity and participation" component, the chosen codes were related to: mobility, personal care, domestic life, interpersonal relations and interactions and the main areas of life. For "environmental factors", the codes chosen were related to: support and relationships, attitudes and services, systems and policies. The environment component was the most limited for the description within the work context. This study represents the effort of constructing a core set based on an interdisciplinary approach, viable to be applied during the treatment and rehabilitation process of workers presenting RSI/MSDs and can contribute to bring Brazil into the international discussion that deals with the consequences of human disease from a social-medical model, displacing the scientific debate and the creation of public policies from the context of disability/incapacity into the health context.
