However, one overarching limitation of this research is that researchers have not recruited samples who have the actual problem of being studied (i.e., cognitive processing speed impairment). This study examined associations between device-measured PA and cognitive processing speed in a large sample of persons with MS overall and between those with and without cognitive processing speed impairment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1355617720000284_as2\" sec-type=\"other\"><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three hundred eighty-five persons with MS underwent the oral Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) and wore an accelerometer for 7 days for PA measurement.
