I've never been told what mine is but in looking at the chart it varies between a 5 and 7. I agree with Ann. This scale doesn't take in to account sensory issues, nor does it take in to account the arms and hands, vision, and cognitive issues. It seems to be primarily based on ambulation. One may be able to ambulate ok but not be able to use their arm(s) to carry out their activities of daily living. Fatigue and fatiguability are also not included in this scale.
