Abstract

Non-motor impairments are common in any stage of multiple sclerosis, even prior to motor symptoms. Evaluation in Expanded Disability Status Scale provides data to make clinical decisions, but it does not allow to detect and monitor slight not-motor impairments (like cognitive dysfunction, depression, fatigue) which appear commonly. Article describes possibilities of clinical evaluation methods of patients which allow to complex monitoring disease’s progression.
