The Mediating Role of Balance in the Relationship Between Fatigue and Fear of Falling in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Fatigue, balance impairment, and fear of falling are common problems in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Previous studies have shown significant associations among these variables; however, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between fatigue and fear of falling remain unclear. It is possible that fatigue increases fear of falling indirectly through its negative effects on balance performance.
