Episode Details

Multiple sclerosis can affect walking ability and movement, but invisible symptoms such as cognition play at least as big a role and should be monitored through neuropsychological testing and assessed over time. This is because aids and structural modifications can also enable people with a walking impairment to access work and participate in everyday life, but if you can no longer concentrate, understand contexts or follow conversations, it becomes much more difficult to compensate. That's why today I want to talk about the importance of neuropsychological tests and what exactly they measure, based on my own experiences.
