Abstract
Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease that due to the involvement of multiple areas in central nercous system, including sensorimotor system can impair the patients,balance. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cognitive task on postural sway in multiple sclerosis patients. Twenty volunteer men and women with multiple sclerosis (mean ±SD age: 41.85± 12.59 years old and EDSS score 0-5) from Tehran multiple sclerosis association and twenty healthy adults (mean ±SD age: 46.52± 8/6 years old) were participated in this study and area of postural sway measured in 3 different level by static stabilometer. Repeated measurment test were used for statistical analysis (P<0.005). area under the curve increased by cognitive task in multiple sclerosis and control groups (P=0.000) and there was a significant difference between two groups for area under the curve (P<0.005). The results of this study showed that performance cognitive task increased (%22, %35, %49) of center of pressure sway in multiple sclerosis patients. Also, there was a significant difference between postural sway two groups in all level of cognitive task.
