They covered the effects of inpatient neurorehabilitation on the sensorimotor performance, especially gait, and statistical models to predict rehabilitation success. Further, the association of different psychometric measures and sensorimotor performance with the quality of life was examined, in order to better estimate the effects of rehabilitation on the well-being of persons with multiple sclerosis.
In total, four manuscripts were published: Two in Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, and each one in Journal of Clinical Medicine and in Multiple Sclerosis International.
