MG-ADL stands for Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living.
It is a short patient-reported questionnaire used to measure how much myasthenia gravis (MG) is affecting everyday function. It asks about symptoms such as:
- talking
- chewing
- swallowing
- breathing
- brushing hair or teeth
- getting up from a chair
- double vision
- eyelid droop
Each item is scored from 0 to 3, so the total score ranges from 0 to 24.
- Lower score = fewer symptoms / less impact
- Higher score = more severe impact on daily life
Doctors and researchers use it to:
- track symptom severity over time
- see whether treatment is helping
- compare disease burden between visits
It is a screening and monitoring tool, not a diagnosis by itself.
