Balance, Trunk Impairment and Fear of Falling in Multiple Sclerosis Patients With Incontinence

This study was aimed to investigate balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling in MS patients with and without incontinence. The study was conducted in 35 MS patients with an age range of 24-58 years. The patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of incontinence. A neurologic examination was performed using the EDSS by a neurologist. Incontinence was measured with the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), balance was measured with a Technobody® stabilometric platform, and fear of falling was measured with the Falls Efficacy Scale (FES).
