Abstract

Background: Dual tasking is frequently impaired in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), substantially impairing quality of life (QoL). We aimed to examine the effects of motor-motor and motor-cognitive tasks on balance in highly mobile patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), with mild disability.
