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[2][3].
