Impairment, disability and fatigue in multiple sclerosis
Background: Identifying the predictors of pain is important for both health professionals and researchers, because pain has repeatedly been found to be a strong predictor of activity limitations and participation restrictions. The objective of this study was to determine the predictors of pain presence and severity in a large, well-designed sample of community dwelling individuals with multip...

The reason is that, until recently, MS was perceived exclusively as a white matter disease, and cognition was thought to depend solely on the ...
متن کاملQuantitative Assessment of Finger Motor Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis
OBJECTIVE To address the disability impact on fine hand motor functions in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by quantitatively measuring finger opposition movements, with the aim of providing a new "score" integrating current methods for disability assessment. METHODS 40 MS patients (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS): 0-7) and 80 healthy controls (HC) performed a repetitive finger-t...
متن کاملRating neurologic impairment in multiple sclerosis: an expanded disability status scale (EDSS).
One method of evaluating the degree of neurologic impairment in MS has been the combination of grades (0 = normal to 5 or 6 = maximal impairment) within 8 Functional Systems (FS) and an overall Disability Status Scale (DSS) that had steps from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS). A new Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is presented, with each of the former steps (1,2,3 . . . 9) now divided...
