Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation hat die personbezogenen Faktoren der ICF noch nicht für die weltweite Nutzung klassifiziert, obwohl auch diese Faktoren eine positive wie negative Wirkung auf die Funktionsfähigkeit eines Menschen haben können. Die Arbeitsgruppe ICF des Fachbereichs „Praktische Sozialmedizin und Rehabilitation“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sozialmedizin und Prävention (DGSMP) hat 2010 einen Entwurf für eine Klassifizierung personbezogener Faktoren vorgelegt, der 72 Kategorien in 6 Kapiteln ordnet. In Ergänzung dazu verfolgt das vorliegende Positionspapier das Ziel, die Diskussion über die vierte Komponente der ICF anzuregen, zu einem breiten und gemeinsamen Verständnis des Wesens der personbezogenen Faktoren beizutragen und den Dialog hierzu mit allen in Gesundheitsberufen tätigen Personen sowie Menschen mit oder ohne Gesundheitsproblem zu vertiefen, um eine umfassende Sicht auf den Gesundheitszustand zu fördern. --------- Abstract Personal contextual factors play an essential part in the model of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The WHO has not yet classified personal factors for global use although they impact on the functioning of persons positively or negatively. In 2010, the ICF working group of the German Society of Social Medicine and Prevention (DGSMP) presented a proposal for the classification of personal factors into 72 categories previously arranged in 6 chapters. Now a positioning paper has been added in order to stimulate a discussion about the fourth component of the ICF, to contribute towards a broader and common understanding about the nature of personal factors and to incite a dialogue among all those involved in health care as well as those people with or without health problems in order to gain a comprehensive perspective about a person’s condition. --------- Schlüsselwörter ICF - Kontextfaktoren - personbezogene Faktoren - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sozialmedizin und Prävention (DGSMP) - Positionspapier --------- Key words ICF - contextual factors - personal factors - German Society for Social Medicine and Prevention (DGSMP) - positioning paper

To investigate neuronal plasticity in the human visual system, we examined a patient with a congenital convergent squint of his left eye, who later suffered a vascular lesion in his left occipital lobe that led to an incomplete hemianopia in his right visual field. The examination revealed that the visual field representation in the striate cortex is rigidly prewired with reference to the anatomical fovea. In contrast, plasticity in the oculomotor system enables the patient to use a functional visual axis that does not correspond to the anatomical fovea. Local alterations of sensitivity within the visual field that indicate interactions among non-corresponding retinal points provide additional evidence of functional plasticity.

In striate visual cortex, cortico-tectal cells were found both in layer V and in layer VI. The labelled cells in the two layers belonged to morphologically different populations: those of layer V were the common pyramidal cells and those of layer VI were identified as solitary cells of Meynert. This finding may provide new insights into the physiology of the cortico-collicular pathways. It also shows that the striate area in primates differs, with respect to cortico-tectal laminar specificity, from other neocortex.

Physiotherapy used to be the only way of improving motor function in such patients. However, administration of amphetamines in addition to exercise improves motor recovery in animals, probably by increasing the concentration of norepinephrine in the central nervous system. Our aim was to ascertain whether levodopa could enhance the efficacy of physiotherapy after hemiplegia. We did a prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study in which we enrolled 53 primary stroke patients. For the first 3 weeks patients received single doses of levodopa 100 mg or placebo daily in combination with physiotherapy. For the second 3 weeks patients had only physiotherapy. We quantitatively assessed motor function every week with Rivermead motor assessment (RMA). Six patients were excluded from analyses because of non-neurological complications. Motor recovery was significantly improved after 3 weeks of drug interve...
