Summary

It is known that respiratory functions, physical activities and functional capacities of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients decrease with the progression of the disease. However, there is not enough information about the severity of the effects of these parameters in mild Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) patients. Our aim in this study is to compare the respiratory functions, physical activities and functional capacities of mild RRMS patients with healthy controls and to examine the relationship between them.

Detailed description

It is known that respiratory functions, physical activities and functional capacities of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients decrease with the progression of the disease. However, there is not enough information about the severity of the effects of these parameters in mild Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) patients. Our aim in this study is to compare the respiratory functions, physical activities and functional capacities of mild RRMS patients with healthy controls and to examine the relationship between them. Forty individuals diagnosed with RRMS between the ages of 18-60 and 40 healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics were included in the study.
