- Brief Summary
The EDSS score is the reference tool for rating disability in patients with multiple sclerosis. It is used in both daily monitoring and clinical research studies.
Its main shortcoming lies in its imprecise and variable nature, with significant inter-examiner variability. This variability is the consequence of the complexity of the score rating and also of its subjective nature.
The application developed aims to reduce the risk of rating error, and to homogenize the results obtained regardless of the examiner and his experience in using the score.
