600 Section - ClinFIT in Action: from Functioning Data to Global Impact

This workshop focuses on an international initiative by the ISPRM ClinFIT Special Interest Group (SIG) to bring together multiple countries and rehabilitation centres to systematically collect ClinFIT-based functioning data from people undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Beyond describing functioning profiles, the project aims to:

1. Implement the ClinFIT approach across inpatient rehabilitation settings globally, and


2. Collect standardized data to develop an interval-based functioning scale


3. Establish clinically meaningful cut-off points to identify rehabilitation needs.
