准确、有效地测量疾病状态已成为MS临床实践和研究的关键问题。尽管存在一些问题，但扩展残疾状态量表（EDSS）仍然是最广泛使用的综合性损伤测量方法。还有一个地方是更受限制的损伤量表，其比EDSS更详细地关注神经功能的某些方面，例如Ambrachial，手臂功能和认知功能的测量。未来损伤量表的改进很可能是由于使用更多的定量休息的神经系统检查的选定组成部分。
Accurate, efficient measurement of disease status has become a key issue in MS clinical practice and research. Despite some perceived problems, the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) remains the most widely used comprehensive measure of impairment There is also a place for more restricted scales of impairment which focus on some aspects of neurological function in more detail than the EDSS e.g. measures of ambulation, arm function and cognitive function. Improvements in scales of impairment in the future is likely to result from the use of more quantitative rests of selected components of the neurological examination.
