ALS Functional Rating Scale
Has anyone had a look at this?
When my dad was diagnosed we found it and at that time he was about a 30 our of 40 40 being the best and 0 being the worst.
Yesterday we did it again and dad's down to a 16.... but he can still walk and talk with difficulty. So I am wondering if this scale is accurate in any sence of the word and if it is accurate if we should be prepareing for more drastic means to ensure Dad's comfort and stability in the household.
