It is a questionnaire in which patient has to understand the activity when he feels dyspnoea and based on that patient has to grade the dyspnoea. The MRC breathlessness scale comprises five statements that describe almost the entire range of respiratory disability from none (Grade 1) to almost complete incapacity (Grade 5).

Patient-reported Dyspnoeain COPD reliability and association with stage of disease1. Only a trace of movement is seen or felt in the muscle; fasciculation is seen in the muscle. 2. Muscle can move only if the resistance of gravity is removed—e. g., elbow can be fully flexed only if the arm is maintained in a horizontal plane. 3. Joint can be moved against gravity without resistance.
