Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between body awareness, trunk stabilization, and upper extremity functionality in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Hypotheses of the study:

H1: There is a significant relationship between body awareness and upper extremity functionality in patients with MS.

H2: There is a significant relationship between body awareness and trunk stabilization in patients with MS.

H3: Body awareness is reduced in patients with MS compared to healthy individuals.

H4: Trunk stabilization is reduced in patients with MS compared to healthy individuals.

H5: Upper extremity functionality is reduced in patients with MS compared to healthy individuals.

Detailed Description

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

Patients' demographic and disease-specific information will be recorded. Subsequently, body awareness, upper extremity functionality, and trunk stabilization will be assessed.
