physical examination maneuvers can also be used to
further assess for carpal tunnel syndrome

radiculopathy, which could be a cause for lower

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
