Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) designed by "National MS Society's Clinical Outcome Assessment Task" and is a standardized tool used to quantify degree of disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS)[1]. Limitations in EDSS leads to development of MSFC in the early 1990's, to improve clinical assessment of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Because of the limitations of the EDSS and assessment of relapses, the MSFC was developed to improve clinical assessment [40, 41]. It was introduced in the early 1990s, a time when the first effective treatments were introduced.
