In recent years, the medical care area and the engineering field come much closer than those in the past days, and, as a result, various life support devices are developed. It is thought that this legal maintenance based on ICF (International Classification of Functioning) classification, which is the international basic concept to think about the life of the person with a disability, has a big influence on these engineering technologies. The ICF classification played in particular a very important role in development, the adaptation and the introduction of the life support devices.
I explained this not only the adaptation and introduction procedure which are based on an evaluation using with ICF but also the developing life support devices which will be demanded in future.
