MS Walking Scale

The MS Walking Scale (MSWS) is a questionnaire used to measure how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects a person's ability to walk. It asks about difficulties experienced during different walking activities, such as standing, walking distances, or navigating stairs. The responses help healthcare providers understand the severity of mobility issues caused by MS and monitor changes over time. This tool provides a standardized way to assess walking ability from the patient’s perspective, guiding treatment decisions and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving mobility.
