Autoimmune Diseases, 2011 Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a clinically and pathologically complex and heterogeneous disease of unknown etiology (Kantarci, 2008). The generally accepted view is, that primarily, MS is an autoimmune disease of the CNS that is precipitated by environmental factors in a genetically predisposed host (Kurtzke, 2005).

Longitudinal relationships between disability and gait characteristics in people with MS
Scientific Reports, 2022 Longitudinal data are vital in order to understand intra individual gait changes with the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to explore the relationship between changes in disability with changes in major
