between depressive symptoms and walking impairment in people with
relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Researchers at the
University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign explored the relationship between
depressive symptoms and walking impairment in a sample group of 269 people with
relapsing-remitting MS during a two-year period. They discovered that
depressive symptoms predicted change in walking impairment at one-year
follow-up, and change in walking impairment at one-year follow-up predicted change
in depressive symptoms at two-year follow-up. The authors suggest that their
findings provide evidence for a reciprocal relationship between depressive
symptoms and walking impairment in RRMS.
