Brief Summary

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

The upper extremity in people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) has become a more popular research topic in recent years, with the increase in studies reporting widespread involvement. The aim of our study was to evaluate the upper extremity from multiple perspectives in early stage pwMS, to identify problems by comparing them with healthy individuals, and to examine the relationship of problems with activity and participation.
