  1. aThe ICF encompasses four major health domains: body functions (b), body structures (s), activities and participation (d), and environmental factors (e), and is organized using alphanumeric codes. The letter within the alphanumeric code corresponds to a health domain and the numbers act as qualifiers, indicating severity. The AMC inventory was created so that each of the 19 items on the questionnaire corresponds to an ICF alphanumeric code. Table 1 summarizes the main focus of each AMC item and its relationship with its corresponding ICF code
