WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) Test - Symptoms and Signs

fatigue

Fatigue is a common clinical complaint, and the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) provides a brief self-report measure to quantify perceived fatigue severity in everyday life. It includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. The items sample physical and cognitive aspects of fatigue to support a structured snapshot of symptom burden.

Developed by Trudie Chalder and David Chalder, the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) may be used in clinical or research settings to support initial assessment and to track change over time alongside other clinical information; results should be interpreted in the context of the individual’s medical history, current symptoms, and functional status.
