خلاصه	The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is a comprehensive 18-item scale assessing functional independence and burden of care in patients with disability across motor and cognitive domains. Developed by Granger and colleagues in 1987, FIM has become the standard outcome measure in rehabilitation medicine, mandated by Medicare for documenting rehabilitation outcomes and discharge planning in inpatient rehabilitation facilities.	The Barthel Index is a brief, observer-rated scale measuring independence in activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with disability, stroke, and neurological conditions. Developed by Barthel and Mahoney in 1965, it has become a widely used outcome measure in rehabilitation, stroke care, and geriatrics for assessing functional independence and predicting discharge placement and long-term outcomes.
