“…Motor deficits are characteristic of multiple sclerosis (MS) and can have a tremendous effect on patient quality of life (Paltamaa et al, 2007). As evidence of this, mobility and motor control are the principal measures for disease severity scales and are the primary outcome measures for therapeutic intervention (Kurtzke, 1983).…”

“…22 Slower walking time on the 10MTW and shorter distances walked on the 6mWT were among the most significant predictors of perceived difficulties in performing ADL in MS patients. 38 Versus patient-reported outcomes (Table 3). With the exception of a strong correlation between the T25FW and the MS impairment scale, correlations among the T25FW, 10MTW, 6mWT and 2mWT and patient-reported fatigue, mental health and physical functioning were weak to moderate.…”

Most patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) eventually experience walking disability. The objective of this review was to evaluate the clinical utility of measures specific for walking in MS. Walking assessments had high reliability and were correlated with related measures, including the 12-item multiple sclerosis walking scale . Shorter timed walking tests (Timed 25-foot Walk (T25FW), 10-metre Timed Walk, 30-metre Timed Walk) measure overall walking disability and are best suited for clinical settings, whereas longer timed or distance tests (100-metre Timed Walk, 6-minute Walk Test, 2-minute Walk Test) are better for the assessment of walking fatigability, distance limitations and functional capacity. The MSWS-12 measures different, but related, aspects of walking than the objective tests. The T25FW is the best characterised objective measure of walking disability and can be used across a wide range of walking disabilities. Additional work is needed to fully characterise the other objective walking assessments in MS.

Conclusions. The ICF contributed to the development of research on functioning and on disability in clinical, rehabilitation as well as in several other contexts, such as disability eligibility and employment. Diffusion of ICF research and use in a great variety of fields and scientific journals is a proof that a cultural change and a new conceptualisation of functioning and disability is happening.
