Z73.6: Limitation of activities due to disability

Limitation of activities due to disability, denoted by the ICD-10 code Z73.6, is a condition where an individual's normal functioning and daily activities are reduced because of physical or mental disabilities. This can include, but is not limited to, limitations in walking, bathing, working, socializing, or participating in other daily activities. The severity and type of limitations depend on the specific nature and severity of the disability. Disabilities causing such limitations may be present from birth or develop over time due to a disease, injury, or aging. The consequences of these limitations can impact an individual's life significantly, affecting physical well-being, mental health, self-esteem, social relationships, and economic status. This condition does not refer to the disability itself, but rather the impact of the disability on the person's activity level.
