Comprehensive evaluation of accelerometer-based physical activity in persons with multiple sclerosis – The influence of disability status and its impact on walking capacity
The present cross-sectional study observed that PA levels and types were negatively impacted in pwMS compared to HC, especially with advanced disability status. Furthermore, PA levels (LPA and MVPA in particular) and PA types (walking in particular) were associated with walking capacity, independently of age, sex, BMI, and disability status.
