Abstract
This is the second of two articles providing a critical evaluation of the Barthel Index as a measure of activities of daily living. Part 2 reviews evidence of the test's standardisation, validity and reliability. It also discusses the usefulness of the test for an occupational therapist in clinical practice and stresses the need for standardised assessment within the profession.Keywords
