Abstract
The article discusses a study which was aimed to investigate the relationship of spinal cord and brain atrophy, and brain lesion load, with long-term physical disability in a large group of people with multiple scelrosis (MS). The study concluded that long-term physical disability was independently linked with atrophy of the spinal cord and brain T2 lesion load, and less consistently, with brain grey matter atrophy.
