Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 (MSWS-12)
Time Frame: Change after 12-week intervention
This questionnaire has 12 items and measures self-reported walking ability in MS. The questions assess the limitations of a patient's walking due to MS during the past 2 weeks. Each item ranges from 1 to 5 and the higher the sum, the more severe the degree of limitation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)(Change after 12-week intervention)
- 25-Foot Walk Test (25FWT)(Change after 12-week intervention)
- Veteran Rand 12 Quality of Life Measure (VR-12)(Change after 12-week intervention)
- Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS)(Change after 12-week intervention)
