ONLS (Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale)
Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale (Graham & Hughes 2006): an arm scale (0–5) plus a leg scale (0–7) give a 0–12 total where a higher score marks greater neuropathy-related functional limitation.

Example
- Arm scale
- 2 - affects but does not prevent functions
- Leg scale
- 3 - unilateral support to walk 10 m
Result: ONLS 5 / 12 — arm 2 + leg 3; higher scores indicate greater functional limitation.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- 0-12
- Arm scale (0-5) plus leg scale (0-7). Higher scores indicate greater neuropathy-related functional limitation. A disability measure, not a treatment order.
What you enter
- Arm scale (0–5)
- Leg scale (0–7)
