Summary

Our aim is to compare ICARS and SARA scores with face-to-face and tele-assessment methods in ataxic multiple sclerosis patients. The hypotheses on which this study is based are; H1: Tele-assessment and face-to-face assessment results of the ICARS differ in patients with ataxic MS. H2: Tele-assessment and face-to-face assessment results of SARA differ in patients with Ataxic MS.

Detailed description

Patients will be evaluated both face-to-face and via tele-assessment (video conference call). In these evaluations, ICARS and SARA will be used. Face-to-face and tele-assessments will be applied on the same day, the order of administration will be decided by the randomization method, and a 10-minute rest will be given between the assessments.The interview will be recorded during the tele-assessment and a re-assessment will be made on the same recording 1 week later. Face-to-face assessment will be done as routinely done in the clinic. Face-to-face and tele-assessments will be made by 3 different assessors. Assessors will be blind to each other's assessment. All assessments will be carried out at Hacettepe University Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation.
