summary: This new study from Danish researchers aims to validate the Danish language version of the functional assessment of multiple sclerosis (FAMS): a disease-specific instrument characterising the functional status of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Following a series of assessments as part of the validation process the authors concluded that the Danish version of FAMS appears to be an acceptable, valid, and reliable measure of current health and functional status of individuals with multiple sclerosis.
