Characterizing Upper Extremity Function in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis

Upper extremity (UE) function is critical to maintaining independence. Better understanding of UE involvement in MS will provide necessary information to prioritize the design and selection of future interventions. The goal of the proposed project is to characterize UE involvement in a population of community-based persons with MS across the International Classification of Functioning, Disability & Health (ICF) domains and constructs.
