Sponsor's own description
The aim of the present study was to examine balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling in MS patients with incontinence. Clinical symptoms of the MS patients are heterogenous, and they vary according to the lesion levels and the duration and the type of the disease. In the neurologic group,especially in MS patients, incontinence is observed even at early stages. Pelvic floor muscles contribute to continence by stabilizing the bladder neck and increasing the intraurethral pressure. Furthermore, they mechanically support the spine and the pelvis.This mechanical support is attained through an increase in sacroiliac joint stiffness and intra-abdominal pressure changes, which are important for spinal control. Along with incontinence, this mechanical support deteriorates resulting in some problems. By this way, postural function of pelvic floor muscles may alter in individuals with incontinence, and thus, lumbopelvic stabilization may be negatively affected. In addition, the activity of trunk muscles changes in individuals with incontinence, which may result in spinal movement and affect the posture. Therefore, balance disorders may develop. Postural sways caused by balance disorders and the decrease in postural corrections have been listed among risk the factors associated with falling. When literature is examined, there exists no study examining the effects of incontinence on balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling in MS patients. For all these reasons, investigators think that incontinence in MS patients has an effect on balance, trunk impairment, and fear of fall.
