Between-group differences in demographics and cognitive and clinical evaluations. MSFC is calculated among 55 subjects who have their 9-hole peg test, 25-foot walk, and PASAT completed. HC = Healthy control. EDSS = Expanded Disability Status Scale. MSFC = Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite. MSSS = Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score. SDMT = Symbol Digit Modalities Test. PASAT = Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test. CVLT = California Verbal Learning Test. CVLT-LD = CVLT–Long Delay. CVLT-TL = CVLT–Total Learning.
