Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
The Dyspnea-ALS-Scale (DALS-15)	10 minutes	The scale is used to measure dyspnea in ALS patients

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Modified Borg Scale	10 minutes	A 10 point Modified Borg Scale is used to assess dyspnea in supine and standing positions.
