Clinical Trial Summary

Sensory disorders are one of the most important problems in individuals with MS, and these disorders are among the first symptoms of MS. Loss of sense of proprioception is particularly common in patients with MS. Studies show that assessment methods for the quantitative measurement of sensory disorders are lacking. Especially in the clinic, there is no evaluation method that evaluates the sense of proprioception. Therefore, the aim of this study perform the validity and reliability study of the lower extremity position test to evaluate proprioception sense in individuals with MS.
