Borg Dyspnea Scale

The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale is a simple 0–10 (or original 6–20) numerical rating scale that quantifies a patient's subjective perception of dyspnea or general effort during activity or exercise testing. Developed by Swedish psychophysicist Gunnar Borg in the 1970s–1980s, the Borg Scale is ubiquitous in cardiopulmonary medicine, rehabilitation, and exercise physiology for monitoring symptom severity, guiding exercise intensity, assessing treatment response, and ensuring patient safety during testing and rehabilitation.
