Gait disorders are one of the most commons problems that cause disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. About 75-85% of the patients reported gait disorder as their main problem. Disorders such as spasticity, coordination problems, vestibular problems, weaknesses and deficiencies, which are the results of disease, cause patients typically have a shorter stride length and increased double-support phase in walking. Fatigue could adversely affect the gait parameters, and distance duration of walking in MS patients. In the recent years, in many diseases such as MS, evaluation of the limitation of movement and functional changes objectively by a computerized gait analysis system gained considerable importance. It is believed that, data obtained from gait analysis provide objective information to the health care team on determining the treatment program and the appropriate device selection

MULTİPLE SKLEROZ VE YÜRÜYÜŞ

Öz

Yürüyüş bozukluğu, Multiple Skleroz’lu (MS) hastalarda en sık rastlanan ve özüre neden olan problemlerden biridir. Hastaların %75-85’i esas problem olarak yürüyüş bozukluğunu bildirmişlerdir. Hastalık sonucunda gelişen spastisite, koordinasyon bozuklukları, zayıflık ve vestibular problemler gibi yetersizlikler, hastalarda tipik olarak daha kısa bir adım uzunluğunda ve artmış çift destek fazında yürüyüşe neden olabilmektedir. MS’li hastalarda görülen yorgunluk; yürüyüş parametreleri, mesafesi ve yürüyüş süresini olumsuz yönde etkileyebilmektedir. Son yıllarda MS gibi hareket kısıtlılığı olan pek çok hastalıkta, yürüyüşe yönelik fonksiyonel değişiklikleri objektif olarak değerlendiren bilgisayarlı yürüme analizi sistemlerinin kullanımının önem kazandığı görülmektedir. Bu analizler sonucunda elde edilen verilerin, tedavi programının belirlenmesi ve uygun cihaz seçimi konusunda sağlık ekibine objektif bilgiler sağladığı düşünülmektedir
