AnnotationThe Manchester Respiratory Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Questionnaire is a new scale designed to assess respiratory disability in older outpatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study investigated its test-retest reliability as a postal questionnaire, as compared to face-to-face administration by a physiotherapist. The scale was found to be acceptable and repeatable as a postal questionnaire, and is appropriate for use both in hospital practice and follow-up in the community for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
