An Exploratory Study of Community Mobility in Adults With Multiple Sclerosis Across Different Ambulation Levels.

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify differences in community mobility in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) at various ambulation levels.

Methods: Seventy-one adults with MS completed a survey about their mobility impairment and avoidance of challenging mobility tasks. Individuals were categorized as having mild, moderate, or severe gait impairment.

Predicting falls in adults with multiple sclerosis using patient-reported measures: Are perceptions of dual-tasking missing?

Background: Mobility challenges and cognitive impairments prominent in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) significantly increase the risk of falling. Examining perceptions of how the simultaneous performance of completing motor and cognitive tasks impacts fall risk may have clinical utility. The purpose of this study was to identify the most significant self-reported predictors of falling including perceived dual-tasking.
