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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The timed 360° turn test
Time Frame: 1 minute
The timed 360° turn test evaluates turning ability. Higher durations indicate worse turning performance.
Secondary Outcomes
- One Leg Stance Test(3 minutes)
- Functional Reach Test(1 minute)
- Berg Balance Scale(10 minutes)
- Four Square Step Test(1 minute)
- Timed Up and Go test(1 minute)
