Jensen,Kari Jones,Kathy Knuts,Benoit Maertens de Noordhout,Andrej Martic,Britt Normann,Bert O. Eijnde,Kamila Rasova,Carmen Santoyo Medina,Veronik Truyens,Inez Wens,Peter Feys +22 more
TL;DR: Long walking tests and patient-reported Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale–12 were more appropriate than short walking tests in detecting clinically meaningful improvement after physical rehabilitation, particularly the MSWS-12 for moderate to severely disabled pwMS.

Which walking capacity tests to use in multiple sclerosis? A multicentre study providing the basis for a core set.
Domien Gijbels,Ulrik Dalgas,Anders Romberg,Vincent de Groot,Francois Bethoux,Claude Vaney,Benoit Gebara,Carme Santoyo Medina,Heigo Maamâgi,Kamila Rasova,Benoit Maertens de Noordhout,Kathy Knuts,Peter Feys +12 more
TL;DR: A single short test format at fastest speed accurately describes an MS patient’s general walking capacity, and for intervention studies, a long test is to be considered.

Carmela Leone,Carmela Leone,Deborah Severijns,Vendula Doležalová,Ilse Baert,Ulrik Dalgas,Anders Romberg,Francois Bethoux,Benoit Gebara,Carmen Santoyo Medina,Heigo Maamâgi,Kamila Rasova,Benoit Maertens de Noordhout,Kathy Knuts,Anders Guldhammer Skjerbæk,E. Jensen,Joanne M. Wagner,Peter Feys +17 more
TL;DR: More than one-third of PwMS showed walking-related motor fatigue during the 6MWT, with its prevalence greatest in more disabled persons and in those with progressive MS phenotype (up to 50%).

TL;DR: A 3-week exercise program on a vibration plate significantly improved muscle strength, but not functionality, in persons with MS.

Peter Feys,Peter Feys,Domien Gijbels,Anders Romberg,Carme Santoyo,Benoit Gebara,B. Maertens de Noordhout,Kathy Knuts,Francois Bethoux,V. de Groot,Claude Vaney,Ulrik Dalgas +11 more
TL;DR: Testing of walking capacity is unaffected by time of day, despite changes in subjective fatigue, according to a large sample of patients with multiple sclerosis.
