title: [Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite Measure (MSFC) standardized in the Brazilian population].
abstract: The Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite Measure (MSFC) is an outcome measure in multiple sclerosis developed by USA National Multiple Sclerosis Society (1994), a three-part composite clinical measure--9-Hole Peg Test, Timed 25-Foot Walk and PASAT.
