About this trial

In the sponsor's words

Taking into consideration the effects of mobilization on muscle tone and balance, it is predicted that this method will have effective results in the treatment of individuals with MS. Therefore, it is thought that grade A and grade B mobilization applications can be used to strengthen the balance control mechanisms of MS individuals and to regulate muscle tone by increasing the proprioceptive input. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the short-term effects of cervical mobilization on balance and spasticity in MS individuals.
