About

Core stability, which is affected from the early period in with patients Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS), is due to deterioration in the somatosensory, motor and musculoskeletal systems. Based on the knowledge that core stability is effective on many functions, it is seen that trunk stabilization exercises are included in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs of patients. However, the effectiveness of augmented reality-based telerehabilitation application, which includes trunk stabilization training in PwMS, has not been adequately investigated in the literature. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of augmented reality-based telerehabilitation application, which includes trunk stabilization training, on neuromuscular and sensorimotor parameters in PwMS.
