Résumé
Quality of life (QOL) has been reported to be reduced in persons with multiple sclerosis. Further, associations between QOL and the clinical severity of the disease as well as sensorimotor function were shown. We reinvestigated impacting factors on QOL by the additional assessment of depression, fatigue, satisfaction with life, and a battery of end-effector based assessments of sensorimotor functioning. Models of multiple linear regression revealed everyday life activity limitations to be the driving factor within the used questionnaire and no association with sensorimotor tests, but depression, fatigue, and satisfaction with life. We conclude that either psycho-emotional coping and adaptability are the dominant determinant of QOL or that QOL is in need of a quantitative and objective reconceptualization.
