Muscle Fatigability During a Sustained Index Finger Abduction and Depression Scores Are Associated With Perceived Fatigue in Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Conclusions. The found association accentuates the importance of including both physiological fatigability-related and psychological mood–related constructs in models to explain perceived fatigue in patients with MS. The model also directs future research toward applying effortful conditions and emphasizes the importance of assessing different constructs when evaluating rehabilitation strategies to reduce MS-related fatigue.
