Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Timed up and go test (TUG), 2-minute walk test (2MWT), multiple sclerosis impact scale-29 (MSIS-29). Timepoint: Before and immediately after the end of the intervention and after 2 months. Method of measurement: TUG is the time measured with the stopwatch from the time the patient gets up from the chair and walks 3 meters and returns and sits on the chair, and 2MWT is measured with the meter. The distance with maximum amount of walking power in 2 minutes, and the quality of life is measured by MSIS-29 questionnaire.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Berg balance scale, muscle force, fatigue severity scale. Timepoint: Before and immediately after the end of the intervention and after 2 months. Method of measurement: Fatigue severity is measured by a questionnaire, static and dynamic balance is measured by a Berg balance questionnaire, and muscle strength is measured by a manual muscle strength test.
