The Mediating Role of Balance in the Relationship Between Fatigue and Fear of Falling in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis

Sponsor: Uskudar University

Summary

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.
