		MSQ			

a.  symptom intensity:  subjective (patient report) scale from 0 to 5
          (0 = no symptoms, 5 = severe symptoms)
b.  symptom duration:  scale from 0-3 
          (5-10 sec = 1 point; 11-30 sec = 2 points; >30 sec = 3 points)
c.  total score = intensity + duration for each position change
d.  MSQ (motion sensitivity quotient) = (#Positons  Total Score) / 20.48

ADAPTED FROM RICHARD A. CLENDANIEL LECTURE’98	

Abbott: 0-10% = mild; 11-30% = moderate; 31-100% = severe	
Improvement indicated by:
•	Decreased number of provoking positions
•	Increased number of reps before symptom occurrence
•	Decreased intensity of symptoms
•	Shorter duration of symptoms
