Summary

Sensory impairment is an important problem for patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Although there is no complete loss of sensation in patients, 80% of patients have a significant sensory impairment. The sensory system plays an important role in providing the feedback required to perform motor tasks. Cutaneous sensation, especially in the sole of the foot, is very important in maintaining balance and gait. There are studies showing decreased foot sole sensation in MS patients. Another sensation that is important during motor tasks is the proprioceptive sensation.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the sensation of foot sole and joint position, clinical features, attention, fatigue, body awareness and physical activity level in patients with MS.
