Pathophysiology
Impairment
Functional Limitation
Disability
Societal Limitation

The 2 models are essentially identical - except for the additional fifth column of the NCMRR

The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice uses the Nagi model to define the scope of practice of physical therapy.

A complete discussion of Disablement Models can be found on pages 19 - 25 of the Guide.
