Overview
Brief Summary
The upper extremity in people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) has become a more popular research topic in recent years, with the increase in studies reporting widespread involvement. The aim of our study was to evaluate the upper extremity from multiple perspectives in early stage pwMS, to identify problems by comparing them with healthy individuals, and to examine the relationship of problems with activity and participation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Motor Activity Log-28
Time Frame: baseline (on the predetermined assessment day)
To assess for performance of activity. Score range 0-5 point, a high score indicates good upper extremity use frequency and quality of movement during activity.
Community Integration Questionnaire
Time Frame: baseline (on the predetermined assessment day)
To assess participation. The total score ranges from 0-29, and the higher the score, the higher the individual's participation in society is considered.
Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test
Time Frame: baseline (on the predetermined assessment day)
To assess upper extremity function. Completing the test in a short time (seconds) indicates better upper extremity function.
ABILHAND
Time Frame: baseline (on the predetermined assessment day)
To assess for performance of activity. Score range 0-46 point, higher scores mean a better outcome.
Nine Hole Peg Test
Time Frame: baseline (on the predetermined assessment day)
To assess upper extremity function. Completing the test in a short time (seconds) indicates better upper extremity function.
Secondary Outcomes
- Pinchmeter(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
- Symbol Digit Modalities Test(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
- Fatigue Severity Scale(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
- Hand Held Dynamometer(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
- Hand Dynamometer(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
- Tuning fork(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
- Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
- Aesthesiometer(baseline (on the predetermined assessment day))
