Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) significantly impacts patient mobility and quality of life.
  • The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is the standard clinical measure for MS disability.
  • MS-related balance impairments can be objectively quantified using force platform posturography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel strategy for estimating EDSS scores from posturographic data.
  • To explore the utility of Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) parameters in assessing MS-related disability.
  • To identify the most accurate posturographic parameters for EDSS estimation.

Main Methods:

  • 118 volunteers with varying EDSS scores (0-4.5) underwent force platform posturography with eyes closed.
  • Second-order polynomial regression models were used to estimate EDSS from postural sway parameters (length, surface) and RQA parameters (%Rec, Ent, LL, TT).
  • RQA parameters were analyzed for position, velocity, and acceleration of the center of pressure, with statistical indices comparing clinical and estimated EDSS.

Main Results:

  • Estimations of EDSS using the surface area of postural sway, %Rec, and mean diagonal line length (LL) of position demonstrated the highest agreement with clinical EDSS scores.
  • The study successfully distinguished EDSS scores using a combination of postural sway and RQA parameters.
  • Specific RQA parameters, particularly for positional data, proved valuable in quantifying MS-related disability.

Conclusions:

  • Postural sway and RQA parameters derived from force platform posturography can effectively estimate EDSS scores in individuals with MS.
  • This non-invasive, data-driven approach offers a potential objective complement to traditional clinical disability assessments.
  • The findings highlight the feasibility of using advanced signal processing techniques to quantify neurological disability.
