Disability describes the real-world limitations in daily life and participation that arise from an underlying health condition. In this framework, impairment is the loss or abnormality of body structure or function, and functional limitation is the difficulty in performing specific tasks. A disorder refers to the disease or pathological process itself. Because this item asks for the definition of disability, the term itself best captures what disability means as the impact on life activities, whereas the other terms describe parts of the picture rather than the overall effect on participation.
