269. MS Progress Tests You Can Do at Home: Walking, Strength & Balance
from The MSing Link · host Dr. Gretchen Hawley PT, DPT, MSCS
In this episode I dive into the most effective objective functional outcome measures for MS—the same gold standard tests used in physical therapy and neurology clinics to track real improvements in walking, strength, and mobility. I break down exactly how you can perform tests like the Timed 25-Foot Walk Test, Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test, and Sit-to-Stand assessments safely at home, plus how to use your results to measure progress, motivation, and the impact of your exercises or interventions. Whether you’re struggling with MS or supporting someone who is, you’ll learn practical tips, strategies, and real-world tools to help empower your journey and improve your quality of life with MS. Join me for this value-packed episode full of evidence-based insights for managing MS symptoms, understanding physical therapy outcome measures, and taking charge of your MS care between clinic visits!
