The Effect of Multiple-Task Training on Physical and Cognitive Functions in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Multi-task training and Single task training for Multiple Sclerosis. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Activities of Daily Living requires the ability to perform multiple activities at the same time, not just the motor or cognitive activity. When many tasks are performed at the same time, the attention capacity is effectively used and attention is shared according to the difficulty and priority of the tasks. There is evidence that patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have reduced performance during multitasking. In this study, the investigators aim to investigate the effect of multitasking training on balance, mobility, upper extremity performance and cognitive functions in patients with MS.
