ABSTRACT
In the World Health Organization’s (WHO) model, any illness can be considered at four levels: pathology, impairment, disability, and handicap (1). Handicap is defined as “the social disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or a disability, that limits or prevents the fulfillment of a role that is normal (depending on age, sex, social, and cultural factors) for that individual” (1).
