A structured FUNCAP-27 questionnaire and severity test for functional capacity in ME/CFS. It helps make daily limitation, exertion boundaries, and PEM-relevant impairment more visible.
FUNCAP-27 captures functional capacity, daily-life limitation, and exertion-related burden. It helps make support needs and instability more visible over time.
It is useful when severity, support needs, and changes across repeated assessments matter more than a single symptom snapshot.
FUNCAP-27 is not a diagnostic tool. The score does not replace clinical evaluation and should not be interpreted without PEM and recovery context.
Captures how severely daily physical activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or household tasks are limited.
Assesses limitations in concentration, information processing, and mental capacity for everyday tasks.
Asks about capacity for personal hygiene, nutrition, and basic daily activities without assistance.
Captures how strongly social contacts, activities, and obligations are limited by the illness.
Assesses exertion response: how long recovery is needed after effort, and how severely function crashes.
Additional questions about fluctuations, good and bad days, and changes over time.
Before you start – the most important answers at a glance.
FUNCAP-27 captures functional capacity and daily limitation. In ME/CFS this matters because capacity often matters more than a single symptom score.
No. FUNCAP-27 describes functional limitation and severity. Diagnostic questions require clinical criteria and medical evaluation.
A single score is only a snapshot. Repeated results can show whether capacity, daily function, and recovery are becoming more or less stable.
FUNCAP-27 is more useful when daily function, support needs, exertion boundaries, and changes over time matter more than first diagnostic orientation.
No. FUNCAP-27 describes functional limitation. Severity should be interpreted together with PEM, recovery time, symptom course, and clinical context.
Repeating it can be useful when daily life, treatment, exertion level, or crash patterns change. Trends are usually more informative than isolated scores.
