The Use of a Topographic Model to Describe Cognitive Disorders for Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Journal Title: International Neuropsychiatric Disease Journal - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The multiple sclerosis (MS) topographic model is a 3-dimensional model that was recently introduced by Stephen Krieger [1]. This model integrates the courses of MS that are regarded as primary, secondary, and relapsing-remitting MS. This model relies on the fact that no distinct line can be drawn between relapse and progression. However, older models separate these phases and do not have the necessary efficacy to present a holistic model encompassing all MS conditions.
