Core Sets
(scroll down to read in English)
Un Core Set de la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento (CIF) es una lista de categorías que sirve como estándar internacional para describir las áreas del funcionamiento y de intervención.
Los Core Sets CIF resumen lo que debe medirse e informarse en una población determinada.
«Los programas de Fisioterapia Acuática proporcionan una forma divertida y motivadora de actividad física”
El desarrollo de los cinco Core Sets de fisioterapia acuática siguió la metodología respaldada por la OMS que integra evidencia de varios estudios diferentes (fase preparatoria):
· una revisión sistemática de las medidas de resultados acuáticos y una comparación de contenido de las cuatro escalas identificadas;
· una encuesta mundial de tres rondas de expertos utilizando una técnica Delphi;
· un estudio cualitativo multicéntrico utilizando la metodología de “grupo focal”
· y entrevistas semiestructuradas individuales con padres de niños con discapacidades.
“Qué tratar” y “Qué medir” en niños y jóvenes con Trastornos Neurológicos
Estos cinco Core Sets de FTA estandarizarán la recopilación de datos sobre la intervención acuática, facilitando las comparaciones entre los estudios. La recopilación de datos rigurosa y sistemática es esencial para garantizar la excelencia en la investigación.
Los archivos e indicaciones acerca de estos Core Sets se presentan en inglés, tal como han sido generados en la investigación y consenso final.

Comprehensive
Used for a complete and exhaustive description of intervention categories in CY aged 0 to 18 years.
Common 0-18
Used to describe the most common areas of intervention in CY aged 0 to 18 years. The Common Brief Core Set can be employed in regular clinical encounters where only a brief assessment is necessary, and in clinical research.
Age Specific
Each of the age-specific sets includes the ICF categories of the Common Brief ICF Core Set in addition to ICF categories unique to each age-group: 0 to <6, 6≥ to <14 and 14≥ to 18 years of age. Each age-specific APT Core Set describes the most common areas of intervention in CY for the associated age-group. The Age-Specific APT Core Sets can be applied in clinical or research context where additional detail is desirable in caring for or describing a particular age-group of CY.
