  1. P values are given in italic; correlation coefficients from tests with significant results are given in bold. A) Overview of EDSS distribution and results from a Spearman’s Rho analysis compared to the results of investigated measures and standard T25FW results. B) Detailed overview of FS distribution and Spearman’s Rho analysis results. *) The T25FW analysis is based on data from 21 MS patients and 14 HC.
