Summary

Patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have reduced functional capacity due to clinical symptoms of the disease, resulting in decreased participation in daily living activities and reduced quality of life. Evaluation of functional capacity and activities of daily living is very important in order to determine appropriate rehabilitation programs and increase the participation of patients in daily life activities. However, although there are many scales evaluating functional capacity and activities of daily living in people with disabilities, there is no specific assessment scale specific to MS patients. Therefore, this study was planned to investigate whether the Glittre Daily Living Activities (ADL) Test, which was developed to measure functional capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a valid and reliable measurement tool in MS patients. For this purpose, a total of 51 participants (25 MS patients and 26 healthy participants) evaluated with Glittre ADL Test.

The relationship between Glittre ADL Test and 6-minute walk test, Notthingham Extended Daily Living Activities Index, Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Scale, Fatigue Severity Scale, Balance Assessment Systems Test (MiniBEST Test), Extended Disability Status Scale and 5-repetition sit-to-stand test evaluated with Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient. For the known group validity, the difference between the patient and control groups compared with the test of the difference between the two means. For reliability, test retest performed. Reliability evaluated with the intraclass correlation coefficient.

Hypothesis 1: Glittre ADL Test results in MS patients and healthy subjects are different.

Hypothesis 2: Glittre ADL Test is reliable in MS patients.

Hypothesis 3: Glittre ADL Test is valid for evaluating functional exercise capacity in MS patients.
