Minimal Record of Disability proposed by the International Federation of Multiple Sclerosis Societies has been evaluated in 148 multiple sclerosis patients living in Genoa, Italy. Statistical percentages on impairment, disability and handicap have been collected also reflecting an image of local health and social services. Critical evaluation of the results led to the following proposals: a) clarify the need of including daily living activities in the evaluation of societal role of MS patients; b) insert evaluation of ability in rising besides bathing and include washing parts of one's body in grooming. Some other minor changes and clarifications are proposed. Copyright © 1984, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved

Abstract
Minimal Record of Disability proposed by the International Federation of Multiple Sclerosis Societies has been evaluated in 148 multiple sclerosis patients living in Genoa, Italy. Statistical percentages on impairment, disability and handicap have been collected also reflecting an image of local health and social services. Critical evaluation of the results led to the following proposals: a) clarify the need of including daily living activities in the evaluation of societal role of MS patients; b) insert evaluation of ability in rising besides bathing and include washing parts of one's body in grooming. Some other minor changes and clarifications are proposed. Copyright © 1984, Wiley Blackwell.
