In Disability and Rehabilitation, (1995) 17(1), 10-14. Authors: Kidd, D., Stewart, G., Baldry, J., Johnson, J., Rossiter, D., Petruckevitch, A., & Thompson, A. J.
In this study the FIM was compared to the Barthel Index to determine its validity, reliability and ease of use in two groups of 25 patients undergoing neurorehabilitation. The FIM was considered to be more valid that the BI, and equally reliable in the assessment of disability.
