  • The Short Form (36) Health Survey1 year

    The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.

  • Multidemensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI)1 year

    The MFI is a 20-item scale designed to evaluate five dimensions of fatigue: general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced motivation, reduced activity, and mental fatigue.

  • The Bell Activity Scale1 year

    The Bell CFIDS Disability Scale is described in the book, The Doctor's Guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Understanding, Treating and Living with CFIDS (Bell 1995). This scale assesses functional ability in adult ME/CFS patients. Eleven statements describe patient status such as level of symptoms at rest, level of symptoms with exercise, activity level, and ability to perform work, travel and self care.
