objective: To analyze the correlation between ICF scale and Barthel index in acute stage spinal cord injury. Methods: 14 patients with subacute spinal cord injury were evaluated with brief core set ICF scale and Barthel index. Results: Body function, body structure, activity and participation in spinal cord injury of ICF and the Barthel index are negatively correlated (R<0), and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The brief core set of ICF is more comprehensive in the evaluation of patients with subacute spinal cord injury.
