Disease Steps Questionnaire
Definition 1
A standardized rating scale developed by Hohol et al in 1995, which is a self-assessment scale of functional disability in multiple sclerosis patients primarily based on ambulation. The questionnaire contains 1 question which is scored ranging from 0 (normal) to 6 (confined to wheelchair). There is an additional score for 'U' (unclassifiable) for patients who do not fit into the 0 to 6 classification categories. (NCI Thesaurus)
