Muscle Fatigue in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

NCT04548310 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 36

Last updated 2022-08-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is stated that 85% of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) complain of gait disorders and 35-90% of them have fatigue. Many factors play a role in the fatigue mechanism in MS patients. Fatigue can increase the symptoms that already exist in MS patients. It is thought that fatigue caused a decrease in muscle strength, making walking worse. There are not enough studies investigating whether fatigue affects gait parameters in MS patients.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of muscle fatigue on muscle strength, joint position sensation, and gait in MS patients.
