Years since Diagnosis<br />
The 9-Hole Peg Test is a measure of<br />
upper extremity disability with higher<br />
scores indicating worse functioning.<br />
These data demonstrate gradual<br />
worsening in upper extremity function<br />
by years since diagnosis; such function<br />
is significantly worse for individuals<br />
with disease duration of 10 to 14.99<br />
years compared to those who have<br />
had MS for five years or less<br />
(P = 0.007).<br />
