MSFC was developed to improve the standard measure of MS disability for clinical trials and to create a multidimensional metric of overall MS clinical status. The evaluation includes a three-part performance scale: Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FT) - assessment of leg function by moving a short walking distance
Other validated assessment measures used in MS trials include the Timed 25-Foot Walk, the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite, and the Short Form (36) Health Survey. [ 5 ] Functional systems
The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. [ 1 ] It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around 180 degrees, walk back to the chair, and sit down while turning 180 degrees.

Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA): measures both static and dynamic balance using tasks testing balance and gait. [17] Timed Up and Go Test: measures dynamic balance and mobility. [17] Balance Efficacy Scale: self-report measure that examines an individual's confidence while performing daily tasks with or without assistance. [17]
Children may find long-term physical therapy boring. [25] Physiotherapy exercises are designed to improve balance, postural control, gait, and assist with mobility and transferring the person with CP, for example from a wheelchair to a bed. [26] Speech therapy helps control the muscles of the mouth and jaw, and helps improve communication. Just ...
An FCE involves assessments made by one or more medical doctors. There are two types of FCE used by the United States Social Security Administration: the Mental Functional Capacity Evaluation (MFCE) that measures emotional and mental capacity, and the Physical Functional Capacity Evaluation (PFCE) that measures physical functioning.
The total score which ranges from 0 to 100 serves as a quantitative evaluation of the difficulties and disabilities in activities of daily living related to the locomotor system. [5] A GLFS-25 score of 7 or more is indicative of stage 1 locomotive syndrome and a score of 16 or more is indicative of stage 2 locomotive syndrome. [3]
