Measures of Disability in Basic Activities of Daily Living. The Barthel Index and the Functional Independence Measure are by far the most commonly used measures. b. Menfal Status Assessment The MiniMental State Examination and the Neurobehavioral Cognition Status Ex amination are recommended. c. Measures of Motor Function and Balance. FughMeyer Scale, Motor Assessment Scale and Motricity Index are the recommended measures for motor function and Berg Balance Scale is recommended for balance. d. Measures of Mobility.
