The Barthel Index is a tool used to assess a patient's level of independence in daily activities, including feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel and bladder control, toilet use, transfers, mobility, and stair navigation. It provides a scoring system ranging from 0 to 100 to quantify the degree of assistance required by the patient. The index emphasizes recording actual performance rather than potential capabilities and aims to establish the patient's independence from any form of help.
