Cedarbaum 1999 ALSFRS-R: twelve caller-assigned integers 0-4 (speech, salivation, swallowing, handwriting, cutting_food, dressing_hygiene, turning_in_bed, walking, climbing_stairs, dyspnea, orthopnea, respiratory_insufficiency). One cutting_food slot for with or without gastrostomy. Sum 0-48. magent does not examine. Cedarbaum 1999 printed no total-score severity bands.
