Aerobic Fitness in Multiple Sclerosis: The Relationship Between Balance and Sensory Dual-Tasking
The Effect of Aerobic Fitness on Balance-Related Sensory Dual-Task Performance in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
The aim of this study is to comparatively examine the effect of aerobic fitness levels on walking and balance performance, sensory dual-task (proprioceptive and vestibular) performance, balance confidence, and fatigue levels in individuals diagnosed with MS.
Research hypotheses H1: MS patients with high aerobic fitness exhibit superior walking speed and balance performance compared to MS patients with low aerobic fitness.
H2: In sensory dual-task tests involving proprioceptive and vestibular manipulations (BOSU ball, soft surface, and head movements synchronized with a metronome), MS patients with high aerobic fitness demonstrate better performance than the group with low aerobic fitness.
H3: MS patients with high aerobic fitness report higher levels of balance confidence compared to the group with low aerobic fitness.
H4: Perceived fatigue is greater in MS patients with low aerobic fitness compared to the group with high aerobic fitness.
H5: There is a significant relationship between aerobic capacity levels and sensory dual-task performance, balance confidence, and fatigue severity in MS patients.

Those with High Aerobic Fitness: Joint Clinical and Dual Duty Protocol
Data will be collected once using a Personal Information Form, the Timed 25-Step Walk Test (T25WWT), the Timed Up and Walk Test (TUWT), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Modified Clinical Sensory Interaction Test (MCIET), the Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ASBCS), and the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS).

6-Minute Walk Test
Aikaikkuna: Day 1
|
Participants' aerobic fitness, walking endurance, and functional exercise capacity will be assessed using the 6DKYT.
Participants are asked to walk for 6 minutes at their own determined maximum safe pace in a 30-meter straight corridor, and the total distance covered is recorded in meters.

Timed 25-Step Walking Test
Aikaikkuna: Day 1
|
To assess participants' baseline walking performance and speed, the Z25AYT, a subtest of the universal Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite Battery, will be administered.
Participants will be asked to walk a distance of 25 steps (approximately 7.62 meters) as quickly and safely as possible, and the elapsed time will be measured with a stopwatch and recorded in seconds.

Berg Balance Scale
Aikaikkuna: Day 1
|
Participants' objective balance and fall risk will be measured using the BDI (Brain Stability Inventory).
The scale consists of 14 different functional balance tasks, including sitting, standing, reaching, and turning, and is evaluated on a scale of 0-56 points.
Lower scores indicate an increased risk of falls.

Day 1

|
Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale
Aikaikkuna: Day 1
|
The 16-item Fall Fear and Balance Confidence Scale (FDSS) will be administered to assess fall fear and balance confidence during daily living activities.
The FDSS consists of 16 items scored between 0 and 100.
Each item asks the individual to rate their confidence in their ability to maintain their balance without falling during a specific activity, on a scale of 0 (not confident at all) to 100 (completely confident).
The total score is calculated by taking the arithmetic mean of all items, resulting in a value between 0 and 100.
A higher total score indicates that the individual has high balance confidence and reduced fall fear during daily living activities.
|
Day 1
|
|
Modified Fatigue Impact Scale
Aikaikkuna: Day 1
|
To assess the impact of fatigue on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functions, a 21-item fatigue risk assessment scale will be used.
The fatigue risk assessment scale consists of 21 items that inquire about fatigue experiences over the past four weeks.
Each item evaluates the impact of fatigue on daily life using a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (always).
The total score obtainable from the scale ranges from 0 to 84.
An increase in the total score indicates a greater negative impact of fatigue on the patient's physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functions, and a greater impact on quality of life.
