A standardized, disease-specific rating scale developed by Cella et al in 1996 to assess quality of life and functional status of individuals with multiple sclerosis. The questionnaire contains 58 items across 7 categories; mobility, symptoms, emotional well-being, general contentment, thinking and fatigue, family/social well-being, and additional concerns. The scoring algorithm for this questionnaire assigns a value from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) to each item in the response categories, and the total score ranges between 0 and 176.
