Objective Measurement of MS Fatigue

In the BAST fatigue module, the automated recording and analyses will showing whether and how individuals with MS manifest MS fatigue during this 10-minute physical and cognitive test. If findings show that the BAST can reliably measure MS fatigue.

Forty individuals with MS and forty neurotypical individuals matched for age, BMI, and education level will undergo BAST testing at the University while being videotaped in 360 degrees. This cutting-edge system of 360° videorecording and combined system for automated movement recognition is currently being developed by Christian Büning and Dr. Mike Baumgart. This system will have the ability to perform within and between-subject movement analyses.
