Brief summary
It was planned to examine the effects of motor imagery and action observation applied in addition to standard rehabilitation in people with multiple sclerosis on walking, fatigue, and trunk control.
Interventions
Individuals included in this group will receive 20 minutes of motor imagery training in addition to 40 minutes of standard rehabilitation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 6 Min Walking Test | 6 week | It will be used to measure walking distance. Before the test is administered, individuals will be given the necessary information and will be asked to walk as fast as possible on a 30-meter track for 6 minutes. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Timed Up and Go Test | 6 week | It will be used to evaluate the dynamic balance of individuals while walking. Individuals will be asked to stand up from the chair they are sitting on without support and walk a distance of 3 meters, then return from the designated area and sit on the chair without support. |
| Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 | 6 week | It is a scale used to measure perceived walking ability. The lowest possible total score on the scale is 12, while the highest is 60. An increase in the total score indicates a negative impact on walking ability. |
| RehaGait® (Hasomed, Magdeburg, Germany) Gait Analysis | 6 week | The device gives about the time-distance characteristics and kinematic data of the gait. |
| Fatigue Severity Scale | 6 week | It is a scale that evaluates the extent to which fatigue affects the daily functions of MS patients. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 7, while the highest score is 63. It is accepted that the severity of fatigue increases as the total score increases. |
| Trunk Impairment Scale | 6 week | Trunk control was assessed using the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), which consists of three subscales: static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination. The lowest possible total score on the scale is 0, while the highest is 23. An increase in the total score indicates increased trunk control. |
