Question pretext
Now I would like to review the different functions of your body. When answering these questions, I would like you to think about the last 30 days, taking both good and bad days into account. When I ask about difficulty, I would like you to consider how much difficulty you have had, on average, in the last 30 days, while doing the activity in the way that you usually do it. By difficulty, I mean requiring increased effort, discomfort or pain, slowness or changes in the way you do the activity. I would like you to provide me your response whether you have not difficulty, mild difficulty, moderate difficulty, severe difficulty or extreme difficulty regarding the following functions of your body. By moderate difficulty I mean between mild and severe difficulty.
