"The study reported a considerable variation between the methods of disability evaluation used in population surveys. Most evaluations were conducted using concepts drawn from the medical model. However, following the endorsement of the ICF, disability surveys and population censuses conducted around the year 2000 have tended to utilize some of the concepts described by the ICF . This finding reveals the dominance of the medical model of disability and the over-medicalization of disability in LMICs, where little attention is paid to the role of the sociocultural and physical environmental contexts in the disablement process."
