In Brief
An observational study evaluating Functional Reach Test for Multiple Sclerosis. Completed, enrolled 79 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Loss of limits of stability ability is one of the major components of balance dysfunction in MS. The functional reach test is quick and clinically available tool for assessing limits of stability but reliability and validity of this test has not yet been systematically examined in people with Multiple Sclerosis.The aim of the study is to investigate reliability and validity of the functional reach test in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
