Fatigue Severity Scale
It measures the patient's perception of the influence of fatigue on physical and social functioning through patient's response to nine different question. Scoring is based on likert scale where 1 indicates strong agreement and 7 indicates strong disagreement. A score of 4 or greater is indicative of severe fatigue.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Human Activity Profile
A questionnaire to assess the activity level of patient in rehabilitation with a total no of 94 questions I ascending order based on metabolic demands. For each activity mentioned patient will be asked 1) if they are still doing this activity 2) have stopped doing this activity or never did this activity. HAP generates two scores the maximum activity score MAS and adjusted activity score ASS. Score \< 53 is considered as low activity score between 54-73 stands for intermediate activity for high activity score \> 74 is required respectively.
Time frame: 4 weeks
6MWT Distance
Subject walks as fast as they can for 6 mins on a walking track to determine their ability to participate in physical activity.The 6 MWT is scored as the total distance covered in the 6-min duration of the test. it will be measured in meters.
Time frame: 4 weeks
