In a sample of mild to severely disabled people with multiple sclerosis, the Six Spot Step Test showed fair responsiveness against a subjective and objective criterion, indicating a minimal important change between ≥ 2.1 and ≥ 4.9 seconds, respectively. However, a weak association between the change in the Six Spot Step Test and the subjective and objective external criterion calls for cautious interpretation. Hence, the results should be further verified against a valid external criterion.
