Front (Question)
What are the instructions to rating perceived exertion?
Back (Answer)
• Want the patient to rate their RPE i.e. how heavy & strenuous the exercise feels to you and how tired you are. • The perception of exertion is mainly felt as strain and fatigue in your muscles and as breathlessness. • Try not to underestimate not overestimate, it is your own feeling of effort and exertion that is important, not how it compares to other people. • Look at the scale and the expressions and give it a number.
