Brief Summary: Multiple sclerosis MS is a chronic progressive demyelinating disease characterized by myelin sheath damage in the central nervous system that affects more than 25 million people worldwide and is more common in young adults aged 20-40 years especially in women Like physical impairments cognitive impairments are a common clinical finding in individuals with MS both in the early and late stages of the disease Individuals with MS with cognitive impairment have more difficulty than those without cognitive impairment in participating in social and occupational activities finding a job working and performing routine household activities It is also known that there is a high percentage of individuals with MS with upper extremity involvement in the early stages of the disease Functional problems in the upper extremities lead to restriction of activity and participation in individuals with MS Although it is stated that there is a high rate of upper extremity problems in individuals with MS it is seen that they are not sufficiently understood and analyzed

When the literature is examined evidence-based studies examining the effect of cognitive exercise on motor functions in MS in addition to physical exercises are quite limited In this context the subject of this study is to examine the effect of cognitive rehabilitation on upper extremity functions balance and cognitive functions in individuals with MS
Detailed Description: Cognitive rehabilitation is a set of therapeutic approaches that aim to increase functional capacity by examining the relationship between brain and behavior in many areas of cognition such as attention memory concentration reasoning problem solving judgment motor planning and awareness and the first goal of treatment is to minimize the loss of acquired neuro-cognitive function Although cognitive rehabilitation programs have been shown to significantly slow down cognitive decline in studies on MS rehabilitation studies are still in their infancy In addition the content and intensity of the rehabilitation program required to provide an effective result have not been clarified Evidence-based studies examining the effect of cognitive exercise in addition to physical exercise on motor function in MS are also very limited There are some studies investigating cognitive rehabilitation alone or physical rehabilitation but to our knowledge there are no studies investigating the superiority of cognitive rehabilitation over a classical physiotherapy program consisting of core-based upper extremity exercises Therefore more original and new studies are needed Our study is important in this sense The aim of this study was to show the effect of cognitive rehabilitation on upper extremity functions balance and cognitive functions when it is applied in addition to physical rehabilitation in order to develop coping strategies by slowing down cognitive losses in individuals with MS and to ensure regeneration if possible With the findings obtained as a result of the study it is aimed to increase the quality of life of MS patients by increasing and developing cognitive rehabilitation programs in MS patients
