Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Neural Transmission"
DOI: 10.1007/s00702-017-1765-0
Abstract: AbstractOur goal was to identify the specific contribution of fear of falling (FoF) and falls with quantitative gait impairments and cognition capabilities in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Patients were separated into four individual subgroups as… read more here.
