Brief Summary

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

Balance and gait disturbances are among the most common problems in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). There is evidence of decreased foot sole sensation in MS patients. Studies conducted in healthy individuals have revealed the relationship between balance and foot sole sensation. These studies have demonstrated that sensory feedback from the cutaneous receptors of the foot sole plays an important role in maintaining balance. However, it is not yet known clearly to what extent the sensory impairment seen in MS patients affects balance and gait disorders.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between lower extremity position sense and foot sole sense with gait and balance in MS patients.

Detailed Description

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

Patients with MS between 0-5,5 score according to the Extended Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and healthy individuals of similar age and sex to patients will be included in the study. The balance, gait, lower extremity position sense, and foot sole sense will be evaluated.

The researchers will use t-tests to compare for quantitative variables and chi-square for the categorical variables between groups. In addition, the researchers will examine the correlations between balance, gait, lower extremity position sense, and foot sole using by Pearson bivariate correlations.
