Title

Walking-related fatigability in persons with MS: Psychometric properties of cognitive and coordination fatigability assessment & proof-of-concept of a rehabilitation intervention (Research)

Abstract

The project focuses on motor and cognitive fatigability, which is prevalent in disabled persons with MS. Fatigability refers to a deterioration of tasks as short as the six minutes walking tests or a 3 minutes cognitive test. Part A is related to assessment of motor fatigability, by adding a bipedal coordination test and a cognitive fatigability test to the assessment, and investigate its relation to walking fatigability. In a second part, we propose a dance intervention which is multimodal.
