The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is the most widely used global disability measure after stroke. It provides a simple ordinal score from 0 to 6 that summarizes how independently a person can live and perform usual activities. Because it’s quick, clinically intuitive, and strongly linked to functional outcome, mRS is the standard endpoint in acute stroke trials and is commonly recorded at follow-up visits (often around 90 days post-stroke).
