Description
Summary:Purpose To our knowledge, no studies compared the video-clinician-based tools and patient-reported questionnaires in assessing gait and balance in people with MS (pwMS). The present study investigated the correlation and agreement between video-clinician-based objective measurement tools and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in gait and balance evaluation. Methods A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 55 pwMS. Video analysis-based gait was evaluated by the Tinetti Gait Assessment (TGA), Gait Assessment and Intervention Tool (GAIT), and Functional Ambulation Classification Scale (FACS) by the clinician. Participants’ self-reported gait and balance were assessed with the Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 (MSWS-12) and Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC). Results There was a moderate positive correlation between ABC with TGA and FACS ( r 1 : 0.552, r 2 : 0.510, p
