Background: Surveillance on paralysis prevalence has been conceptually and methodologically challenging. Numerous methods have
been used to approximate population-level paralysis prevalence estimates leading to widely divergent prevalence estimates.
Objective/hypotheses: To describe three phases in use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as
a framework and planning...
