Getting There: Problem-Solving Mobility Challenges
|
|
Mobility and movement, like nearly every aspect of multiple sclerosis, are individualized for each person with MS and support partner. Nonetheless, some common mobility themes are consistent for many living with the disease: challenges related to walking, transferring, and “wheeling” (use of wheeled mobility).
In this article, learn strategies for overcoming these challenges so you can get where
you
want to go and participate in activities
you
want to do.

Grey Matter: A Strong Indicator of MS Progression
|
|
|
Evolving research shows that the brain’s grey matter can play a key role in the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). For years, white matter was the focus when it came to MS, but researchers now know that changes in grey matter can be associated with a decline in physical and cognitive abilities—and can even help predict long-term disability.
