Summary
Evaluate a method of testing the strength of five key lower limb muscle groups using a hand-held strength gauge (dynamometer).
Detailed description
Purpose of this study is to assess the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) in the assessment of lower limb strength in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Also to establish a standardized strength testing procedure for key lower limb muscle groups using a HHD fo research and clinical purposes in Multiple Sclerosis.
