Clinical Study

Impact of a 5-Day Expedition to Machu Picchu on Persons with Multiple Sclerosis

Figure 2

Longitudinal data of the number of patients with their graded fatigue for the sum, cognitive and motor subscales of the FSMC. The timeline of the 5 assessments is presented in the X axis. The percentage of participants is presented in the Y-axis. Different colours are indicating the severity, based on cut-off values, as indicated. The number of severely fatigued participants changed over time, especially for the motor subscale. Four subjects started with severe motor fatigue, including 2 subjects with EDSS 4 ( ). A transient reduction occurred in 3 of them, just before travelling to Peru ( ). Severe motor fatigue came back in 1 subject, which results in 2 subjects with severe motor fatigue ( ), both with EDSS 4 at baseline.
