TL;DR: There was 'strong evidence' that despite no change in the level of impairment, inpatient MD rehabilitation can produce short-term gains at the levels of activity (disability) and participation for patients with MS, and need for better designed randomized and multiple centre trials.

TL;DR: General practitioners play an important role in providing ongoing support in the community, monitoring for medical complications, behavioural and personality issues, social reintegration, carer coping skills and return‐to‐work issues.

TL;DR: There is silver level evidence that following hip or knee joint replacement, early multidisciplinary rehabilitation can improve outcomes at the level of activity and participation, and the optimal intensity, frequency and effects of rehabilitation over a longer period and associated social costs need further study.

TL;DR: Despite the range of rehabilitative treatments available for MS, there is a lack of high-quality evidence for many modalities and further research is needed for effective rehabilitation approaches with appropriate study design, outcome measurement, type and intensity of modalities, and cost-effectiveness.

TL;DR: Comprehensive assessment of health domains in MS patients using standardized framework and common language for describing the impact of disease at different levels, using International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health core sets may increase the knowledge of needs of these patients for more efficient and adapted rehabilitation interventions meeting these individual requirements.
