Which ICF component describes Activities such as mobility and self-care?

• A. Body Function (ICF)
• B. Body Structure (ICF)
• C. Activities (ICF)
• D. Participation (ICF)

Answer: (C)

Activities describe the execution of tasks and actions a person can perform. Mobility and self-care are examples of such tasks—like walking from one place to another or dressing, bathing, and feeding oneself. This focus on performing actions at the task level is what the Activities component captures. Body Function and Body Structure refer to the physiological processes and anatomical parts underlying those tasks, not the act of doing them. Participation, on the other hand, concerns involvement in life situations and roles, such as work or social activities, beyond just performing tasks. So, when the question refers to activities like mobility and self-care, the correct component is Activities.
