Katz 1963 Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living

Katz 1963 Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living: six caller-assigned independence flags (bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, feeding). Each independent function scores 1; max 6. magent sums the published 0–6 count and does not observe the patient. Not the Barthel Index, not Katz letter grades A–G, and not a rehab order or placement decision. Not a medical device.
