From implementation to discontinuation: multi-year experience with the multiple sclerosis performance test as a digital monitoring tool.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Digital tools such as the self-administered Multiple Sclerosis Performance Test (MSPT) support structured monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS) through standardized assessments of motor, visual, and cognitive functions.
