Objective: To compare Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients with and without urinary incontinence (UI) in terms of balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in 35 MS patients with an age range of 24-58 years. The patients were divided into two groups based on the diagnosis of urinary incontinence. UI was measured with the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), balance was measured with a Technobody® stabilometric platform, trunk disorder was measured with the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), and fear of falling was measured with the Falls Efficacy Scale (FES). Independent Sample T Test and Mann Whitney U Test were used to compare the demographic data and measurement results of the MS patients with UI and without UI. Results: In the present study, 18 MS patients were with UI and 17 MS patients were without UI. The mean age was 42.38±8.26 years in MS patients with UI and 42.11±11.07 years in MS patients without UI. The median Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score was 3.5 (2.5-3.5) in patients with UI, and 2.5 (2.0-3.0) in patients without UI. In MS patients with UI, eyes open and closed, anterior-posterior and medial-lateral sway, trunk impairment, and fear of falling were found to be increased compared to those of continent MS patients (p<0.05). Conclusion: UI in MS patients causes trunk impairment and balance disorders, which result in increased fear of falling. Therefore, in the evaluation of balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling from the early phase of the disease, the occurrence of UI should be considered.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı üriner inkontinansı (Üİ) olan ve olmayan Multipl Skleroz (MS) hastalarında denge, gövde bozukluğu ve düşme korkusunun araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma 24-58 yaş aralığında toplam 35 MS hastasının katılımı ile gerçekleştirildi. Hastalar inkontinansı olan ve olmayan olmak üzere 2 gruba ayrıldı. Üriner inkontinansın (Üİ) şiddeti İnkontinans Şiddet Ölçeği (İŞÖ) ile, denge Technobody® stabilometrik platform ile, gövde bozukluğu Gövde Bozukluk Ölçeği ile, düşme korkusu Düşme Etkinlik Ölçeği (DEÖ) ile değerlendirildi. Üİ olan ve Üİ olmayan MS hastalarının demografik verileri ve ölçüm sonuçlarını karşılaştırmak için Bağımsız örneklem T Testi ve Mann Whitney U Testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışma Üİ olan 18 MS hastası (12 kadın ve 6 erkek) ve Üİ olmayan 17 MS hastası (11 kadın ve 6 erkek) ile yapıldı. MS hastalarının yaş ortalaması Üİ olan grupta 42,38±8,26 yıl, üriner inkontinansı olmayan grupta 42,11 ± 11,07 yıldı. Ortalama Genişletilmiş Engellilik Durumu Ölçeği (GEDÖ) skorları Üİ olan MS hastalarının 3,5 (2,5-3,5), Üİ olmayan MS hastalarının 2,5 (2,0-3,0) di. Üİ olan MS hastalarında gözler açık ve gözler kapalı, ön-arka ve iç-dış salınım miktarları, gövde bozukluğu ve düşme korkusunun Üİ olmayan MS hastalarına göre arttığı bulundu. (p<0,05). Sonuçlar: MS hastalarında Üİ varlığı gövde bozukluğu ve denge bozukluğuna neden olmaktadır. Bu durum artan düşme korkusu ile sonuçlanmaktadır. Bu sebeple, hastalığın erken fazlarından itibaren dengenin, gövde bozukluğunun ve düşme korkusunun değerlendirilmesinde Üİ varlığı da hesaba katılmalıdır.
