Abstract

Lesion location might turn out to be an important factor in long-term disability prediction in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Using a lesion probability mapping approach, researchers have identified brain regions where the presence of MS lesions predicts an early need for bilateral walking support.
