Abstract Synopsis
- The study combined Gait Profile Score (GPS) and Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) to analyze walking differences between people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and healthy controls, revealing specific joint and phase alterations in gait.
- PwMS showed higher GPS scores, indicating more gait deviations, and had reduced ankle dorsiflexion and knee flexion during critical phases of walking, especially in those with greater disability.
- The combined approach correlated gait abnormalities with clinical disability measures, demonstrating that gait deviations are more severe in PwMS with higher disability and walking limitations.]
