Brief Summary

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

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dual tasking on upper extremity functions in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) and compare with healthy controls. Additionally, another aim of our study was to compare the cognitive status, quality of life, fatigue and emotional states of individuals with MS and healthy controls.

Detailed Description

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

The study was carried out at Kutahya Health Sciences University Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital. 30 individuals with MS and 30 healthy controls, aged 18-65, were included in the study. In the evaluation, demographic and clinical data were recorded first. The Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test was used to evaluate the upper extremity function of the participants in single and dual task conditions, and the Dual Task Questionnaire was used to evaluate the difficulties experienced during dual tasks.

Intervention Type OTHER

The Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test was used to evaluate the upper extremity function of the participants in single and dual task conditions, and the Dual Task Questionnaire was used to evaluate the difficulties experienced during dual tasks. In the dual-task turning test, in addition to the single-task turning test, they were given a cognitive task, the task of counting the months of the year backwards from December to January. The dual-task turning test was continued by changing hands at the end of each turn until the last disk was turned. Meanwhile, verbal fluency and hand errors made while spinning the disc were recorded.
