Andrew R DevendorfCarly T JacksonMadison SunnquistLeonard A JasonPublished in: Disability and rehabilitation (2017)
Our findings provide recommendations and approaches for measuring: daily functioning, symptomatology, quality of life, and physical functioning. Implications for rehabilitation Physicians viewed recovery as complete symptom remission and a return to premorbid functioning (adjusted for with age). Recovery from myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome should be viewed as multidimensional, considering patients' daily life, psychosocial functioning, and overall physical functioning. These findings can improve practitioner-client interactions, as they provide recommendations for measuring recovery in research and practice.
