Summary

This study involved 21 adults with multiple sclerosis to check if a 6-minute walk test done in a 6-meter hallway is as good as the usual 30-meter version. Participants walked back and forth for six minutes while their performance was measured. The goal was to see if the shorter version is a reliable and valid way to assess walking ability in MS.
