We would like to thank Dr Escorpizo and Dr Cieza for their interest in and response1 to our case report on applying the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to the physical therapist management of low back pain (LBP).2
Although an important difference between the Nagi model3 and the ICF model4 includes bidirectional relationships among nonhierarchical domains of function, the WHO's figure representing the ICF model is still visually linear. We determined that a figure that was less linear would better represent our perceived application of the ICF model in this case report. As mentioned in Escorpizo and Cieza's response,
SD Rundell, PT, DPT, OCS, is Physical Therapist, Portland Sports Medicine and Spine Physical Therapy, Portland, Oregon.
