Overview
Brief Summary
In the literature, the results of vestibular rehabilitation treatment applied in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have been investigated in detail under the headings such as fatigue, physical activity level, and quality of life, and its effects on walking have also been tried to be examined. However, in the studies conducted, gait assessments were made through questionnaires and timed tests, and devices that provide more objective data such as 3-dimensional gait analysis were not used. Again, the effects of vestibular rehabilitation programs on dual-task were not examined in previous studies.
Therefore, the aims of our study are:
- To determine the effect of individually designed vestibular rehabilitation exercises on the kinetic and kinematic components of walking;
- To determine the effect of vestibular rehabilitation exercises specially designed for the person on gait parameters during cognitive and motor tasks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
3D Gait Analysis System - pre assesment
Time Frame: It will be done at the beginning of the study. An analysis session lasts nearly 2 hours per patient. Evaluation of all participants will take approximately 2 months.
Kinetic and kinematic data of gait will be collected in the motion analysis laboratory using 6 infrared digital cameras (Vantage 5.0), 2 synchronized video cameras (Vicon Vue) and 2 force platforms (AMTI).
3D Gait Analysis System - post assesment
Time Frame: It will be done at the end of the study. An analysis session lasting nearly 2 hours per patient. Evaluation of all participants will take approximately 2 months.
Kinetic and kinematic data of gait will be collected in the motion analysis laboratory using
