在公共卫生方面，越来越多的人倾向于评价健康问题对有关人员的生活质量以及对保健服务的使用的影响。从这个意义上说，对无能力的评价正变得越来越重要。Barthel指数是一种被广泛用于此目的的工具，它衡量一个人在日常生活中执行十项基本活动的能力，获得对被调查者依赖程度的定量估计。自1955年推出以来，Barthel指数一直被使用，产生了许多版本，并作为与其他量表比较的标准。它是一种易于应用的方法，具有较高的信度和效度，能够检测变化，易于解释，应用没有问题。另一方面，它对不同文化环境的适应几乎是即时的。尽管Barthel指数有一些局限性，但在临床实践以及流行病学调查和公共卫生中，它可能被推荐作为衡量身体丧失能力的选择方法。
In Public Health exists a growing tendency to evaluate the impact of health problems both on the quality of life of the persons involved as well as the use of health services. In this sense, the evaluation of incapacity is acquiring ever greater relevance. The Barthel Index is an instrument widely used to this end and measures the capacity of the person for the execution of ten basic activities in daily life, obtaining a quantitative estimation of the subject's level of dependency. The Barthel Index has been used, since its introduction in 1955, resulting in numerous versions, as well as serving as a standard of comparison with other scales. It is an easily applicable method, with a high level of reliability and validity, capable of detecting changes, easy to interpret and the application of which is not problematic. On the other hand, its adaptation to different cultural environments is almost immediate. Although it has a few limitations, the Barthel Index may be recommended as a selection method for measuring physical incapacity, both in clinical practice as well as in epidemiological investigation and Public Health.
