Since 2015, our interdisciplinary group of multiple sclerosis (MS) researchers and clinicians (MSBEST) has been systematically reviewing evidence on varied MS Rehab topics ranging from mobility and spasticity management to cognitive rehabilitation, bone health and more. This symposium will present highlights gleaned from the research. The material will be presented with a view to underscoring take home points with clinical practice relevance. The methodology used will also be presented. An interactive format will serve to enhance knowledge transfer.
