About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Multiple sclerosis negatively affects the endurance and functionality in the upper extremities. 20 female patients aged 18-70 years who were diagnosed with MS will be included in the study. Demographic, family, cigarette alcohol use, etc. information will be obtained from the patients and the study will begin. Timed 25-Step Walking Test, upper extremity endurance with UULEX, Hand-Shoulder and Arm Problems Questionnaire (DASH) and Nine-hole Board Test (DDTT) evaluation were performed on the patients. Manual muscle test for muscle strength, handheld dynamometer handheld Grip strength will be measured with a dynamometer and spasticity will be measured with the Ashworth scale. Depression status of the patients will be determined by the Beck depression scale, and the presence of dyspnea will be determined by the dyspnea scale. The validity and reliability of the Unsupported Upper Extremity Exercise Test (UULEX) will be investigated with the obtained data. In order to give the most accurate result of the test in adults over 65 years of age, 3 repetitions will be performed with a resting period of half an hour. Limitation of activities of daily living will be evaluated with MSQOL-54 specific to Multiple Sclerosis. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) will be used to determine test-retest reliability.
