Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a battery of tests and composite tests that can be used to systematically evaluate clinical features of Multiple sclerosis (MS) treatable by physiotherapy. 17 ambulatory subjects with MS were tested twice with the assessment set before and after undergoing physiotherapy. The test-retest reliability, stability, internal consistency of composite measurements, sensitivity to changes after therapy, and correlation between measurements and the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale score were evaluated for all tests in the assessment set.
