Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a practice effect present in
the timed 25-foot walk in ambulatory individuals with multiple sclerosis. Design: Thirty six …

Background An alternative method suggested to assess changes in walking in people with
multiple sclerosis (PwMS) is evaluating gait variability. This is a credible option since gait …

This pilot study investigated the validity of the functional ambulatory profile (FAP) score from
the GAITRite™ electronic pathway in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) who had onset …

Increasing awareness of the significance of ambulatory limitations in people with multiple
sclerosis (MS) requires a regular assessment of walking ability in order to monitor disease …

Background Gait deficits are common in multiple sclerosis (MS) and contribute to disability
but may not be easily detected in the early stages of the disease. Objectives We investigated …

Abstract In people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) with little or no signs of disability, early
detection of walking impairments represents a challenging issue, as simple gait metrics (eg …

Background Walking impairment is a common and highly disabling symptom in people with
MS (PwMS). Ambulatory deterioration is poorly characterized in PwMS and reliable …

Physical disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) is frequently characterized by impaired
ambulation. Although walking tests have been successfully employed to assess walking …

Introduction: Walking speed is generally considered as the best outcome measure in trials
for people with multiple sclerosis (pMS). We recently designed a device based on range …

BACKGROUND: There is psychometric evidence that supports the six-minute walk (6MW) as
a measure of walking performance, whereas other psychometric data support it as a …
