What percentage of people with MS end up using wheelchairs?
The search results don't provide a specific percentage of people with MS who end up using wheelchairs. However, they do mention that wheelchair use is more common among people with advanced MS and those who have lived with the condition longer.
What we do know is that mobility challenges are very common in MS. About 76% of people with MS report trouble walking, which can be caused by fatigue, weakness, balance problems, pain, or numbness.
Some people find that mobility aids like canes, walkers, or wheelchairs help them maintain independence and continue their daily activities. As one MyMSTeam member shared, accepting a wheelchair into their life allowed them to stay mobile despite balance issues.
The need for a wheelchair varies greatly from person to person and depends on factors like disease progression, symptom severity, and individual circumstances.
