Relative aerobic load of walking in people with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: To examine the energy demand of walking relative to aerobic capacity in people with multiple sclerosis.

Design: Cross-sectional cohort study.

Patients: A total of 45 people with multiple sclerosis (32 females), median disease duration 15 years (interquartile range (IQR) 9; 20), median Expanded Disability Status Scale 4 (min-max range: 2.

Don't be late! Postponing cognitive decline and preventing early unemployment in people with multiple sclerosis: a study protocol.

Background: Up to 65% of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) develop cognitive deficits, which hampers their ability to work, participating in day-to-day life and ultimately reducing quality of life (QoL). Early cognitive symptoms are often less tangible to PwMS and their direct environment and are noticed only when symptoms and work functioning problems become more advanced, i.e.

Don't be late! Timely identification of cognitive impairment in people with multiple sclerosis: a study protocol.

Background: Cognitive impairment occurs in up to 65% of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), negatively affecting daily functioning and health-related quality of life. In general, neuropsychological testing is not part of standard MS-care due to insufficient time and trained personnel. Consequently, a baseline assessment of cognitive functioning is often lacking, hampering early identification of cognitive decline and change within a person over time.
