English Usage. There are two main stages to be observed in the development of the English terminology used in this regard. The first stage is represented by the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (ICIDH) which was first published by the Morld Health Organisation for trial purposes in к98o. This classification adopted three main terms, viz., impairment, disability and handicap. Impairment was used to mean “any loss or abnormality of psychological or anatomical structure or function.” Disability was interpreted as “any restriction or lack (resulting from an impairment) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being.” Finally, handicap was defined as “a disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or disability, that limits or prevents the fulfilment of a role that is normal, depending on age, sex, social and cultural factors, for that individual.”234 Commenting on these definitions, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (Director of the Morld Institute on Disability) said that handicap is therefore a distortion of the relationship between disabled persons and their environment.

It denoted the negative aspects of the interaction between an individual (with a health condition) and that individual’s contextual factors (environmental and personal factors).238 Again the main items of this definition were further defined as follows: that has been revised and thus replaced by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), 2ooк adds credit to this fact.
