The Barnes Akathisia Scale (commonly known as BAS or BARS) is a rating scale that is administered by physicians and other healthcare professionals to assess the severity of drug-induced akathisia. [1] The Barnes Akathisia Scale is the most widely used rating scale for akathisia. This scale includes objective and subjective items such as the ...
Since it is difficult to measure extrapyramidal symptoms, rating scales are commonly used to assess the severity of movement disorders. The Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS), Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), and Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS) are rating scales frequently used for such assessment and are not weighted for diagnostic purposes ...

Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) are scales used to rate performance.BARS are normally presented vertically with scale points ranging from five to nine. It is an appraisal method that aims to combine the benefits of narratives, critical incidents, and quantified ratings by anchoring a quantified scale with specific narrative examples of good, moderate, and poor performance.
The test asks 51 questions in all with a number being red herrings to test for people over-rating themselves. It has been proposed that this is useful for spotting malingerers and hypochondriacs , however its intention in the original research proposal for LUNSERS was to demonstrate the robustness and reliability of self-reporting.
