How Does the Katz Index Compare to Other ADL Assessments?
There are various tools available for assessing ADLs, such as the Barthel Index and the Lawton IADL Scale. Compared to these tools, the Katz Index is more focused on basic self-care activities. The Barthel Index, for example, includes additional items like stair climbing and mobility, while the Lawton IADL Scale assesses more complex activities like managing finances and using transportation.
