Sixty-four patients with advanced multiple sclerosis were assessed on intellectual and memory tests. They were rated by occupational therapists on an Activities of Daily Living scale according to their abilities, and by relatives on the same scale, according to what they actually did. Results indicated that the multiple sclerosis patients had intellectual and memory deficits. A few discrepancies occurred between patients' abilities as rated by an occupational therapist and what they actually did as rated by a relative. These discrepancies were not significantly related to memory impairment.
对64例晚期多发性硬化症患者进行了智力和记忆测试。职业治疗师根据患者的能力，亲属则根据患者实际的日常生活活动情况，在日常生活活动量表上对他们进行评分。结果表明，多发性硬化症患者存在智力和记忆缺陷。职业治疗师评定的患者能力与亲属评定的患者实际能力之间存在一些差异。这些差异与记忆损害没有显著关系。
