About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Many patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are treated with physiotherapy. Muscle weakness is a common symptom. It can be evaluated with a variety of muscle function tests. In MS patients, testing muscle function can be confounded by many factors, such as spasticity and ataxia, which are not considered by the existing tests and may cause biased test results. Steinlin Egli described a Modified Manual Muscle Test (MMMT) that considers spasticity and may provide a more reliable and valid muscle function test for MS patients. The investigators aim to evaluate the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the Modified Manual Muscle Test in MS and evaluate the validity of the Modified MMT according to the criteria of the 6 level British Medical Research Council (BMRC) manual muscle test and the microFET2 handhold dynamometer.
