The EDSS Functional Systems (FS) are described in the reference article Appendix A as the following:
Pyramidal Functions
0. Normal. |
1. Abnormal signs without disability. |
2. Minimal disability. |
3. Mild or moderate paraparesis or hemiparesis; severe monoparesis. |
4. Marked paraparesis or hemiparesis; moderate quadriparesis; or monoplegia. |
5.Paraplegia, hemiplegia, or marked quad-riparesis. |
6. Quadriplegia. |
V. Unknown. |
Cerebellar Functions
0. Normal. |
1. Abnormal signs without disability. |
2. Mild ataxia. |
3. Moderate truncal or limb ataxia. |
4. Severe ataxia, all limbs. |
5. Unable to perform coordinated movements due to ataxia. |
V. Unknown. |
X. Is used throughout after each number when weakness (grade 3 or more on pyramidal) interferes with testing. |
Brain Stem Functions
0. Normal. |
1. Signs only. |
2. Moderate nystagmus or other mild disability. |
3. Severe nystagmus, marked extra& weakness, or moderate disability of other cranial nerves. |
4. Marked dysarthria or other marked disability. |
5. Inability to swallow or speak. |
V. Unknown. |
Sensory Functions (revised 1982)
0. Normal. |
1. Vibration or figure-writing decrease only, in one or two limbs. |
2. Mild decrease in touch or pain or position sense, and/or moderate decrease in vibration in one or two limbs; or vibratory (c/s figure writing) decrease alone in three or four limbs. |
3. Moderate decrease in touch or pain or position sense, and/or essentially lost vibration in one or two limbs; or mild decrease in touch or pain and/or moderate decrease in all proprioceptive tests in three or four limbs. |
4. Marked decrease in touch or pain or loss of proprioception, alone or combined, in one or two limbs; or moderate decrease in touch or pain and/or severe proprioceptive decrease in more than two limbs. |
5. Loss (essentially) of sensation in one or two limbs; or moderate decrease in touch or pain and/or loss of proprioception for most of the body below the head. |
6. Sensation essentially lost below the head. |
V. Unknown. |
Bowel and Bladder Functions (revised 1982)
0. Normal. |
1. Mild urinary hesitancy, urgency, or retention. |
2. Moderate hesitancy, urgency, retention of bowel or bladder, or rare urinary incontinence. |
3. Frequent urinary incontinence. |
4. In need of almost constant catheterization. |
5. Loss of bladder function. |
6. Loss of bowel and bladder function. |
V. Unknown. |
Visual (or Optic) Functions
0. Normal. |
1. Scotoma with visual acuity (corrected) better than 20/30. |
2. Worse eye with scotoma with maximal visual acuity (corrected) of 20/30 to 20/59. |
3. Worse eye with large scotoma, or moderate decrease in fields, but with maximal visual acuity (corrected) of 20/60 to 20/99. |
4. Worse eye with marked decrease of fields and maximal visual acuity (corrected) of 20/100 to 20/200; grade 3 plus maximal acuity of better eye of 20/60 or less. |
5. Worse eye with maximal visual acuity (corrected) less than 20/200; grade 4 plus maximal acuity of better eye of 20/60 or less. |
6. Grade 5 plus maximal visual acuity of better eye of 20/60 or less. |
V. Unknown. |
X. Is added to grades 0 to 6 for presence of temporal pallor. |
Cerebral (or Mental) Functions
0. Normal. |
1. Mood alteration only (Does not affect DSS score). |
2. Mild decrease in mentation. |
3. Moderate decrease in mentation. |
4. Marked decrease in mentation (chronic brain syndrome-moderate). |
5. Dementia or chronic brain syndrome-severe or incompetent. |
V. Unknown. |
Other Functions
0. None. |
1. Any other neurologic findings attributed to MS (specify). |
