New MCIDs for smartphone gait measures in multiple sclerosis established

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have established minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for gait measures derived from smartphones in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). These MCIDs, determined using an anchor-based approach in the CONSONANCE study, provide thresholds for interpreting meaningful gait changes. The findings aim to facilitate the integration of digital gait metrics into MS outcome evaluations and clinical trials, enabling more objective patient monitoring and personalized care. AI
