Borg CR-10
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
The Borg Category-Rating scale or Borg CR-10 scale is a self-report tool to measure the intensity of perceived effort.[1][2] The Borg CR-10 is similar to the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale, but ratings are from 0 to 10 rather than 6 to 20.[3][4]
Theory[edit | edit source]
The scale scores perceived effort from 0 (no effort at all) to 10 (absolute maximum).[3]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
The World Health Organization has suggested using the Borg CR-10 scale to assess effort when doing rehabilitation to recover from the effects of COVID-19.[5]
Cost and availability[edit | edit source]
The RPE scale is copyrighted but is widely available and free to use in many hospitals or health settings, and on websites such as the World Health Organization and CDC.
