Functional disorders due to multiple sclerosis are evaluated using rating scales. EDSS is a scant which is very inadequate in evaluating cognitive functions, is significantly limited in evaluating upper extremity functions and is highly difficult to repeat. Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) is considered as a test that has been proposed in recent years in MS clinical trials and can overcome these negative features of EDSS. Three primary assessment methods were suggested for MSFC (9): 1) 25-step walking, 2) 9-Hole Peg test (9-HPT), and 3) Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test-3 (PASAT-3).
