Primary outcome measure(s)

  • KATZ Activities of Daily Living Scale — 1 day
    The scale was developed in 1963 by Katz and his colleagues to assess individuals' basic activities of daily living. This scale measures the level of dependency in six basic self-care activities: bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding. The total score ranges from 0 to 6, with lower scores indicating a higher level of dependence. The scale classifies as follows: 0-2 points indicates dependent, 3-4 points indicates partially dependent, and 5-6 points indicates independent.
