    • Main Results:

    • Assessment purpose significantly influences methodology and results.
    • Identifies challenges in defining the scope and dimensions of MS disablement.
    • Highlights the need for a comprehensive conceptual framework and appropriate terminology.

    Conclusions:

    • Recommends a standardized approach to MS disablement assessment.
    • Emphasizes the importance of aligning assessment with the WHO ICIDH framework.
    • Suggests further research into the dimensions and scope of MS disablement assessment.
