Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the timed 360° turn test in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Detailed Description

At baseline, the timed 360° turn test, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, Functional Reach Test, Four Square Step Test, and One-legged Stance Test is applied to the Multiple Sclerosis group. The timed 360° turn test is repeated after seven days from the first application in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Healthy controls are going to perform only the timed 360° turn test.
