Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disease. Since attacks are accompanied by psychiatric and physical disabilities, additional symptoms such as withdrawal from the social environment and psychiatric disorders are also observed. It is very important to evaluate patients adequately and correctly, to determine the disability, and treat them with appropriate clinical approach. For this reason, Expanded Disability Status Scale score and upper extremity capacity measurement tests are used in many studies by investigators. These tests provide detailed examination on the patient's upper limbs, and indirectly provide information about their cognitive function. A multi-disciplinary approach for multiple sclerosis patients is the most crucial factor in clinical follow-up and treatment success.
多发性硬化症是一种慢性脱髓鞘疾病。由于发作伴有精神和身体残疾，还会观察到其他症状，如脱离社会环境和精神障碍。充分且正确地评估患者、确定残疾程度并采用适当的临床方法进行治疗非常重要。因此，研究人员在许多研究中使用扩展残疾状态量表评分和上肢能力测量测试。这些测试对患者的上肢进行详细检查，并间接提供有关其认知功能的信息。对多发性硬化症患者采用多学科方法是临床随访和治疗成功的最关键因素。
