Physical therapists should understand the content included in self-report questionnaires in order to choose the appropriate questionnaire for examination and follow-up purposes. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a universal and standard language for the description of health and health-related states and can be used for the content comparison of self-report questionnaires. Objective The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the contents covered by 8 self-report measures used in vestibular rehabilitation based on the linkage of their content to the ICF.
