Conditions

MS multiple sclerosis white matter disease

Interventions

Subjects perform shortlasting contracties in the scanner followed by a fatiguing 3-minute contraction.

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: neurological disorders other than MS, fMRI exclusion criteria (e.g. metal implants)

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The EMG obtained during the experiment will be analysed with Brain Vision Analyser. The mean EMG values during a contraction is one of the main parameters Furthermore, force and brain activitity will be measured. The main focus of this experiment is the time course of the braina ctivity during the experiment and the correlation between EMG/force and brain activity.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
