NEW YORK, Feb. 28 -- The National Multiple Sclerosis Society issued the following news:
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego report that a novel device combining several sensors was able to measure function, correlating strongly with the EDSS, the standard measure of disability progression in MS. Participants wore a small band on the forearm or calf, then completed 20 finger or foot taps. Data from multiple sensors, measuring acceleration, rotation, and nerve impul . . .
