The Manchester Respiratory Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire: Development, Reliability, Validity, and Responsiveness to Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Because there is no respiratory‐specific activities of daily living (ADL) scale for use in older patients, our aim was to design and develop the Manchester Respiratory ADL questionnaire (MRADL) and to assess its validity in older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
