Abstract

Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological degenerative disease with no cure. However, personalized rehabilitation therapies have demonstrated to be effective to reduce the effect of symptoms and improving this way the life quality of patients. To design such therapies, it is essential to know the functional status of each patient, which is usually a laborious task. For that reason, in this work a status classifier for Multiple Sclerosis patients is developed. Artificial neural networks are used for this task, which work with a database obtained by a Smart Tip for developing a system to determine the functional status of patients.
