Phalen/carpal compression—These common physical examination maneuvers can also be used to further assess for carpal tunnel syndrome
Straight leg raise—Evaluate for lumbar radiculopathy, which could be a cause for lower extremity paresthesia/dysesthesia
Spasticity
A hallmark sign of upper motor neuron damage is spasticity. This should be evaluated in both limbs of the upper and lower extremities. The modified Ashworth scale is the gold standard for spasticity evaluation (see Table 3.5).
Table 3.5
Modified Ashworth Scale
Grade Description 0 No increased muscle tone 1 Slight increase in tone, spastic catch with release present or minimal
resistance at end range of motion (ROM) during flexion and extension
1+ Slight increase in tone, spastic catch with minimal resistance throughout
remainder of movement (less than half of ROM)
2 Further increased muscle tone throughout most ROM, but affected part
easily moves 3 Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult 4 Muscle rigid in flexion or extension

Gait
Gait analysis can be an important aspect of an initial evaluation in a patient with MS. It can reveal signs of ataxia illustrated through reduced balance and a wide-based gait pattern. In addition, it can reveal areas of focal muscle weakness, such as steppage gait seen with ankle dorsiflexor weakness, Trendelenburg gait seen with hip abductor weakness, or leg circumduction, which can be seen with hip flexor weakness. Spasticity can also affect gait patterns as illustrated by scissoring gait, which can result from adductor spasticity. However, depending on the area of spasticity, and presence of concomitant weakness, a wide variety of gait patterns and compensatory movements can be seen.
Although gait analysis at the initial visit is an important part of a comprehensive assessment, monitoring gait at subsequent follow-up appointments can often hold significant prognostic value and provide patients/physicians with evidence for disease worsening. Changes in ambulation/use of assistive device are directly correlated with disease severity, as illustrated by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (see Figure
3.2) and can be crucial for identifying disease course. Most
commonly, the timed 25-ft walk is used to assess ambulation speed, whereas the 6-minute walk has been validated to assess ambulatory stamina. 3 However, recently, the 2-minute walk test has been shown to have similar prognostic value to the 6­minute walking test in assessment of gait stamina. 11 In addition, the Tinetti gait and balance test can be used to assess risk for falls within the next year, whereas the Timed Up and Go test assesses dynamic balance and mobility (see Table 3.6). Decline in ambulation can be extremely important to identify, as it can lead to earlier use of assistive device, which can decrease fall risk and improve patient quality of life.

Major MS Mimics
As illustrated earlier, the clinical symptoms of MS can vary depending on the individual and the disease phenotype. Proper diagnosis of MS typically requires other diseases to be ruled out first. There are many diseases that can present with clinical symptoms and time courses similar to MS. It is important to be aware of the broad range of differential diagnosis, their defining clinical symptoms, and the specific workup that is needed to rule out that differential. See the tables for a variety of conditions with both relapsing-remitting (Table 3.7) and progressive disease courses (Table 3.8), as well as diseases that can present as DIS but not DIT (Table 3.9), DIT but not DIS (Table 3.10), and both DIS and DIT (Table 3.11). These

charts are not comprehensive, but represent some of major differentials to be aware of and that should be considered with a comprehensive workup.

Diagnostic Workup
If a patient presents with a clinical history and physical examination in which the list of differential diagnosis includes MS, it is important for the nonneurologist to have a basic framework for an effective MS diagnostic workup. Regardless of whether a referral is made to a neurologist or other medical specialist, preliminary data collection can be crucial for earlier diagnosis and targeted medical management. The following is a brief summary of the diagnostic tests that can be most effective for ruling out other etiologies and diagnosing MS.
Laboratory Tests
See Table 3.12 for a list of laboratory tests that should be sent to evaluate for the most important disease mimics of MS. Although a medical specialist or neurologist may elect for additional laboratory tests, such as specific genetic testing, the following list of tests are a good starting point for diagnostic workup.

Imaging
MRI continues to be the gold standard for supporting a diagnosis of MS, as well as searching for other possible radiological features to support another diagnosis. A standardized protocol for MRI in MS diagnosis has been created by MAGNIMS and the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers. 12 In short, the panel recommended that a brain MRI be obtained in all patients being considered for a diagnosis of MS. In addition, it was agreed upon that, although spinal MRI is not necessary in all cases, it is advised in the following cases: spinal cord localization, when there is a primary progressive course, when considering MS in less common populations (e.g., older individuals or nonwhite populations), or when additional data are needed to increase diagnostic confidence. 13 The specifics of MRI with MS will be discussed at length in the MRI chapter of this book.
CSF Analysis
A lumbar puncture with CSF analysis assessing for oligoclonal IgG bands has long been a mainstay in the diagnosis of MS. However, in recent years, less emphasis has been placed on using CSF findings for diagnostic purposes, and this analysis is no longer considered a mandatory clinical test in the setting of diagnostic MRI findings. That being said, CSF analysis does have a key prognostic value and role in clinical decision making. 14 Although the presence of oligoclonal bands in CSF can be a confirmatory test for MS, it is not specific for MS and can be found in a variety of other diseases of the CSF. In
https://t.me/medicina_free
addition, the absence of CSF findings does not completely rule out an MS diagnosis, because CSF oligoclonal bands may be absent in individuals early in the disease process and in young children. 14 However, there continues to be diagnostic utility with the oligoclonal CSF test. The use of CSF testing for MS diagnosis is summarized in Table 3.1, in the revised 2017 McDonald criteria.
Electromyography
An electrodiagnostic evaluation can be an important part of the workup for MS. Although it is not highly specific for MS or essential to satisfy the diagnostic criteria, it can help to rule out other etiology that could explain the patient’s symptoms. It can be helpful for diagnosing peripheral neuropathies, nerve entrapments such as carpal tunnel, or radiculopathies that could explain a patient’s symptoms. One should consider referring a patient for electrodiagnostic evaluation if the clinical symptoms warrant such workup.
Evoked Potential
This diagnostic test measures electrical activity in the brain through stimulation of specific sensory nerve pathways. The test has been shown to detect decreased conduction velocity along the sensory pathways, which represents evidence of demyelination in the CNS pathways. In theory, any sensory pathway can be assessed, but typically visual EPs, short latency somatosensory EPs, and brainstem auditory EPs are tested most frequently. Evoked potential (EP) testing can detect changes in sensory pathway conduction for a variety of conditions besides MS, including optic neuropathies, myoclonus, and a variety of other CNS tumors and isolated brainstem lesions. It is often frequently used for intraoperative neurologic monitoring during spine surgery. 15 Previously, EP tests were used to establish dissemination in space by identifying different locations of CNS lesions in clinical cases with little or no changes clinically. However, recently, EP has been removed from the 2017 McDonald criteria, because of its
