These assessments appeared to be primarily Body Function-based (40.7%) and Activity-based (27.1%). For ICF-based interventions, 247 interventions were identified across 66 studies and covered fewer than half of the UK Guideline topics. Mapping based on intervention content covered 36% of the combined Activity and Participation component. Both assessment and intervention mapping allocated less attention to the Participation component and Contextual Factors (CF), indicating limited specificity to community reintegration after stroke.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To promote the holistic ICF framework in post-stroke rehabilitation, more work is needed to address the assessment-intervention mismatch in current practice, particularly for Participation and CF. Resources, such as clinician training and service-level support, should also be mobilized to support the routine clinical application of the ICF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10538135261464191","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,15]],"date-time":"2026-07-15T13:41:54Z","timestamp":1784122914000},"page":"185-199","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Applications of ICF-Based Assessments and Interventions in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8160-2921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mabel N.
