Brief Summary

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, is a disease characterized by myelin, oligodendrocyte and axon damage. Research continues on the autoimmune, infectious, environmental, vascular and genetic origins of this disease, which affects approximately 2.5 million people in the world and is seen 2-3 times more in women than in men. Although the signs and symptoms of the disease vary according to the location of the lesion; frequently, loss of strength, spasticity, sensory disturbances, fatigue, ataxia, autonomic dysfunction, and decreased visual acuity are observed. With these approaches, the effect of Kinesiotape application on balance will be investigated in individuals with ataxic MS. Based on this idea, our work; It was planned to investigate the effect of kinesiotape application on balance in individuals diagnosed with ataxic multiple sclerosis.

Conditions

Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis; With Ataxia Symptoms; No Secondary Disease Affecting Balance

Keywords

Multiple Sclerosis; Balance; Ataxia; Kinesiotape

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Timed Up and Go Test

  It is applied to evaluate the balance and fall risk of individuals. The patient is first asked to sit leaning on the chair. The patient is then asked to stand up, walk with regular steps for a predetermined distance of 3 meters, return at the end of 3 meters and sit in a chair. During the test, the patient's walking time is recorded in seconds with a stopwatch. The test was repeated three times and the mean value will be recorded

  1 week

• Win-Track Analysis

  With the pressure measurement platform, static and dynamic pressure distributions, motion cycles, pressure, power, time and step parameters, as well as gait symmetry analysis data will be taken from the system

  1 week

• 3-meter Backward walk Test

  The 3-meter distance is marked with a black tape and participants are asked to align their heels with the black tape. Individuals are asked to walk backwards as soon as possible with the "walk" command and stop when they reach 3 meters. Meanwhile, the elapsed time is recorded in seconds. Evaluation will be done three times and the average time will be recorded

  1 week
