Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
It is important to increase the independence of the MS patients in activities of daily living (ADL). Almost all of ADL requires many activities at the same time. For example, toothbrushing involves both the standing balance and the motor activity of the upper limb at the same time. It also requires cognitive tasks such as attention and focusing. Many activities that seem to be the only task are actually multitasking (5).
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of motor and cognitive additional task on balance, mobility and upper limb performances in MS patients and to determine the factors associated with dual-task performance.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
We will use descriptive statistics and t-tests to compare demographic characteristics between groups and for the categorical variables chi-square. Effect of the group (MS patients or healthy controls), condition (Single task and dual-task conditions), and group × condition interaction will be compared using two-way repeated measures ANOVA. We will examine the correlations between fatigue severity, physical activity level, mood, sleep quality, quality of life using Pearson bivariate correlations. The significance level is set at p\<0,05.
