Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious neurological disease which
affects patients and their environment negatively. Movement, balance and
walking impairments related to demyelination, axonal damage and the
formation of sclerosis plaques in cerebral hemispheres, brain stem and
spinal cord are wide spread in Multiple sclerosis patients. This study was
designed to assess postural stability and gait abnormalities in patients
with multiple sclerosis and included forty MS patients and forty control
subjects, which were subjected to laboratory and radiological
investigations, clinical balance scales and posturography tests. The
performance of MS patients relative to control was poor in all balance
scales and posturography tests. Among MS patients, relapsing remitting
form was better in performance than the progressive forms.
