Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We will find a difference between the performance of people with MS with different visual deficits in the use of tasks in a virtual environment. It will be evaluated by means of the statistical difference between the error variables (absolute, variable and constant error) recorded in milliseconds by the software itself | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We will find a correlation between the severity of the visual deficit and the time of illness of people with MS. It will be evaluated by means of the statistical correlation between the variables of the visual tests (in absolute values) and the time of illness (characterized as time between the medical diagnosis and the date of the evaluation in years) | — |
