Cut-Off Values for Gait and Balance in MS
Determination of Cut-Off Values for Gait Variability and Balance Scores in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Purpose of the Study: The aim of this study is to determine the cut-off values of gait variability and limits of stability-postural sways scores in patients with MS in order to identify fall risk at an early stage and take necessary precautions. Additionally, the study aims to compare the effectiveness of these parameters in distinguishing between fallers and non-fallers. The study includes four hypotheses: H₁: Gait variability scores can differentiate between fallers and non-fallers in patients with MS. H₂: Limits of stability and postural sways scores can differentiate between fallers and non-fallers in patients with MS. H₃: Gait variability scores provide higher sensitivity and specificity than stability limits and postural sway scores in distinguishing between fallers and non-fallers in patients with MS. H₄: Limits of stability and postural sways scores provide higher sensitivity and specificity than gait variability scores in distinguishing between fallers and non-fallers in patients with MS.
