我们检查了与活动限制最相关的变量（即，烹饪）和参与限制（即，就业）在72人多发性硬化症（MS）。参与者接受了一系列综合神经心理学测试，评估记忆力，执行功能，视觉感知和处理速度，并完成了评估活动，参与，疲劳和情感症状的问卷。结果表明，处理速度是唯一的变量始终显着相关的活动和参与。当研究活动和参与的具体方面时，就业状况与教育水平，视觉记忆，疲劳和处理速度显着相关。烹饪能力与工作记忆、非文字记忆和处理速度等任务的表现有关。这些研究结果表明，处理速度是MS的主要认知因素，影响活动和参与日常生活的质量。
We examined the variables most associated with activity limitation (i.e., cooking) and participation restriction (i.e., employment) in 72 people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery assessing memory, executive functions, visual perception, and processing speed and completed questionnaires assessing activity, participation, fatigue, and affective symptoms. Results showed that processing speed was the only variable consistently significantly related to both activity and participation. When examining specific aspects of activity and participation in isolation, employment status was significantly associated with education level, visual memory, fatigue, and processing speed. Cooking ability was associated with performance on tasks of working memory, verbal memory, and processing speed. These findings suggest that processing speed is a primary cognitive factor in MS influencing quality of both activity and participation in everyday life.
