The FRHOM is a new compact module that can provide a summary that reflects the person's current status across all components of functioning as defined in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) (WHO 2001). This report informs people interested in improving information on human functioning within and across a wide range of fields, and/or interested in testing the FRHOM in 2005-06.
