Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients (50) were evaluated using an objective weighting scale measuring neurologic deficit, and investigated with continuous reaction time (CRT). Compared to a group of 105 controls, the reaction times of the MS patients were significantly delayed. The CRT method could correctly classify 80% of the controls and 72% of the patients. The CRT was especially sensitive for patients in the progressive phase of the disease and independent of coordination deficits.Keywords
