Brief summary

Fifty patients who were referred to receive physiotherapy and 20 healthy volunteers will be participants of the study.Participants with multiple sclerosis will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Modified Ashworth scale will use to evaluation of severity of plantar flexor spasticity. Plantar pressure distribution parameters will assess with dynamic pedobarography.

Detailed description

Fifty patients who were referred to receive physiotherapy at the neurology department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Hacettepe University, Ankara with multiple sclerosis and twenty voluntary healthy age matched participants will be the subjects of this study. Assessment tools described as following: Modified Ashworth scale will use to evaluate of severity of plantar flexor spasticity. Static and dynamic loading parameters will be evaluate with pedobarography.Maximum loading pressure -N/cm2, maximum loading time- ms for; 1st. and 5th metatarsal head, medial and lateral heel and midfoot will be recorded both while the patients standing and walking.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Pedobarography for assessment of foot pressure while standing and walking	Initially evaluation at first minute, Change from initial evaluation to 20th minutes, Change from initial evaluation to 24 hours, Change from initial evaluation to 24 hours and 20 minutes	Participant stands and walks on system name is pedobarography which records foot pressure. Foot pressure means, gravitational force reflecting from ground at every foot step phase. Newton/cm2 is the unit of measure.
