MS is a disease of the central nervous system. Slight symptoms of MS may include eye problems, clumsiness and numbness or a tingling sensation.

Wheelchair bikes were taken into use at three care institutions in both the Netherlands and Belgium in the autumn of 2019. Read more about this in the article.
