The 12-Item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12)

The 12-Item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12) is a questionnaire designed to assess how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects a person’s walking ability. It consists of 12 statements that respondents rate based on their experiences with walking difficulties, such as fatigue or balance issues. The scores help healthcare providers understand the impact of MS on a patient's mobility and overall quality of life. By identifying specific walking challenges, the MSWS-12 can inform treatment plans and support better management of the condition.
