Barthel Index Calculator

The Barthel Index rates ten everyday activities, from feeding and grooming to transfers, walking and stairs, and adds them to a score out of 100. Pick the published anchor that matches what the person actually does for each item, and the result gives the total, the dependence band, the points lost on each item and the self-care, continence and mobility subtotals. Transfers and mobility carry 15 points each while bathing and grooming carry 5, so the weighting matters as much as the count. A clinician completes the rating and the number does not replace their judgement.
