BACKGROUND: The assessment of cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS)
requires large neuropsychological batteries that assess numerous domains. The
relevance of these assessments to daily cognitive functioning is not well
established. Cognitive ecological evaluation has not been frequently studied in
MS.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the interest of cognitive
evaluation in a virtual reality environment in a sample of persons with MS with
cognitive deficits.
METHODS: Thirty persons with MS with at least moderate cognitive impairment were
assessed with two ecological evaluations, an in-house developed task in a virtual
reality environment (Urban DailyCog®) and a divided attention task in a driving
simulator. Classical neuropsychological testing was also used.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Fifty-two percent of the persons with MS failed the
driving simulator task and 80% failed the Urban DailyCog®. Virtual reality
assessments are promising in identifying cognitive impairment in MS.
