NCT04547400 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.
