| Concept | Timed 25-Foot Walk |
| Description | The Timed 25-Foot Walk is a walking test, a quantitative measure of lower extremity function. This test is the first component of the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC, a series of three tests to document the course of Multiple Sclerosis). |
| Use | Use the Timed 25-Foot Walk both, as part of the MSFC, as well as independently. The patient is directed to one end of a clearly marked 25-foot (7,62 m) course. Then he is instructed to walk this course as quickly as possible, but safely. The task is immediately administered again by having the patient walk back the same distance. Assistive devices (customary devices) may be used when doing this task. The time limit is 180 sec (3 min) per trial. Futhermore the test is terminated if the patient cannot complete the second trial after a rest period of 5 min. Use the MSFC Manual for detailed administration instructions. |
| Purpose | To record the administration of a Timed 25-Foot Walk. |
