About

Respiratory functions and body control are affected in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Because of this effect, the dependency of individuals increases in daily living activities and their quality of life decreases.

We think that respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength and trunk control affect vital mobility as well as vital importance for individuals with MS. As a result of the investigations, it is concluded that the literature is insufficient in this area.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and trunk control on functional mobility in individuals with MS and compare with healthy individuals.
