Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to investigate reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the timed 360° turn test in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

At baseline, the timed 360° turn test, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, Functional Reach Test, Four Square Step Test, and One-legged Stance Test is applied to the Multiple Sclerosis group. The timed 360° turn test is repeated after seven days from the first application in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Healthy controls are going to perform only the timed 360° turn test.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

* The timed 360° turn test
* Berg Balance Scale
* Timed Up and Go test
* Functional Reach Test
* One-leg stance test
* Four square step test

The timed 360° turn test

Intervention Type OTHER

* The timed 360° turn test: Each participant turns around in place in a standing position for both sides.
* Berg Balance Scale: It has 14 items, each of which is scored from 0 (i.e, severely impaired balance) to 4 (i.e., no balance impairment).
* Timed Up and Go test: It requires individual to stand up from an armed chair, walk 3m, turn around, walk back to the armed chair, and sit down again.
* Functional Reach Test: It measures the maximum distance an individual is able to reach forward beyond arm's length in the standing position when maintaining a fixed base of support.
* One-leg stance test: Individuals were asked to stand on either their left or right leg.
* Four square step test: It requires an individual to step over obstacles in various directions including forward, backward, and sideways.
