Abstract: 

Objective: To identify the potential contribution of an ICF-based tool in physical therapy academic training. Method: A set of ICF diagram was analyzed where students from a clinical school at a private university in Curitiba, Paraná, expressed physiotherapeutic evaluations results. Results: Body Functions and Body Structures categories were predominant. The anamnesis included categories of Activities and Participation and Environmental Factors, but they were not explored in detail by the students. Conclusion: The diagram favors ICF application but a more comprehensive use of components needs to be done to standardize and systematize the language.
