Brief Summary:
The study will include 50 MS patients who were examined by a specialist neurologist diagnosed according to McDonalds criteria in the Neurology Outpatient Clinic of SANKO University Sani Konukoğlu Application and Research Hospital and whose informed consent was obtained. Ethical approval of the study was obtained from SANKO University Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee (No:2025/01- ethics committee decision No:2).
MS patients between the ages of 18-65 years, with an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score ≤ 4, who are not pregnant, who have not had an attack in the last 1 month and who have not received corticosteroid treatment will be included in the study. Individuals who have taken any medication that may affect walking and balance ability in the last month, have orthopedic, other neurologic diseases and cognitive problems will not be included in the study.
Demographic information (age, height, weight, body mass index and gender) of individuals with MS will be recorded. Firstly, the tests will be explained to the individuals in detail.Assessments will be performed by a physiotherapist with 10 years of experience in this field.

Detailed Description:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, inflammatory, neurodegenerative and progressive disease with a complex etiology. the symptoms of the disease vary according to the lesion site and generally include problems such as balance and fall problems, fatigue, loss of strength and spasticity in the lower extremities, and sensory disturbances.
The study will include 50 MS patients who were examined by a specialist neurologist diagnosed according to McDonalds criteria in the Neurology Outpatient Clinic of SANKO University Sani Konukoğlu Application and Research Hospital and whose informed consent was obtained. Ethical approval of the study was obtained from SANKO University Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee (No:2025/01- ethics committee decision No:2).

Demographic information (age, height, weight, body mass index and gender) of individuals with MS will be recorded. Firstly, the tests will be explained to the individuals in detail.Assessments will be performed by a physiotherapist with 10 years of experience in this field.
Assessments will be performed separately by two physiotherapists on two consecutive days. Each physiotherapist will administer the tests in two separate sessions on one day. The time to complete the activities during the tests will be recorded with a stopwatch. Patients will be unaware of the recorded time. Individuals will be rested before the tests. On the first day, the first assessor will administer the 2MST in the first session. Then 2MWT and Single Leg Stance tests will be performed respectively. In the next session, the second evaluator will perform the 2MST. On the 2nd day of the assessment, the second assessor will first perform the 2MST. Then, the first assessor will perform the 2MST. In both sessions, individuals will be assessed in the same environment to minimize the influence of environmental factors. This environment has adequate lighting and the floor of the room has a hard surface as a safety precaution due to the risk of falling. Due to the risk of heat intolerance problem in MS, attention was paid to the room temperature and the room temperature will be at normal room temperature.
