Global Disability Level on the Modified Rankin Score (mRS) Primary · 90 days

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a measure of global disability. Total scale range is 0-6, with lower values indicating better outcomes. 0 = No symptoms at all 1. = No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities 2. = Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance 3. = Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance 4. = Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance 5. = S
