Description
Noah M. Werner and others put out a 2026 study asking how walking ability is scored in multiple sclerosis. The standard disability scale relies on what patients guess. People often misjudge how far they can walk. Wearable devices can measure all the time instead. Two German centers ran the test.
Sixteen relapsing patients joined the study. Staff measured walking with a wheel and pedometer. Smartwatches tracked what they did each day between visits. Most patients got their distance wrong against scale marks. Guesses matched the readings only in part. Nonstop tracking could make walking scores a matter of fact. That change would affect treatment choices and trial endpoints.
