This is the first study to provide regression-based prediction equations for strongest and weakest MVC of UL muscle groups and demonstrated an inverse relationship between MVC with disability and age. Regression-based reference strength values can help clinicians understand muscular strength along a spectrum of PwMS and can aid in goal setting and education for realistic outcomes.
