Abstract

The Chinese version of the Modified Barthel Index (MBI-C) seems to be valid and reliable for use with older people with stroke. Changes were made to the item content and the rating criteria that were specific to Chinese culture. The structural validity and the reliability of the Chinese version were shown to be robust across the original and Chinese groups.
