The idea that MS is synonymous with the wheelchair is persistent in many people. Due to the different courses and symptoms of the disease, it is not possible to say how exactly the disease will progress in the individual patient.

However, thanks to effective forms of therapy and symptom treatment, many MS patients today are not dependent on a wheelchair.
