Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Barthel Index used for?
The Barthel Index measures how independently a person can perform 10 basic activities of daily living, commonly used to track functional recovery after stroke or other disabling conditions.
What is considered a good Barthel Index score?
A score of 80 to 100 generally indicates independence in daily activities, while lower scores indicate progressively greater need for assistance, with scores below 20 indicating total dependence.
Why do different activities carry different point values?
Activities that require more complex coordination or carry greater safety risk if performed incorrectly, like transfers and mobility, are weighted more heavily (up to 15 points) than simpler tasks like bathing or grooming (up to 5 points).
Is this calculator a substitute for medical advice?
No. This is an educational reference implementation of the standard Barthel Index, not a substitute for a qualified clinicians functional assessment.
