About this trial

In the sponsor's words

MS patients were randomly divided into traditional therapy and traditional therapy + cervical mobilization groups. While muscle strengthening, stretching, balance and coordination exercises were given to the traditional group, cervical mobilization was applied in addition to these in cervical group. Patients received treatments twice a week for 4 weeks. The effect of the applied treatment on the tonus and plantar pressure distribution was analyzed. Treatments were interrupted for 4 weeks and the groups continued with the treatment they did not receive (crossover design). The group that received traditional treatment in the first period completed traditional + cervical mobilization, and the other group with traditional + cervical mobilization traditionally completed the treatment.
