Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system. The disease affects the white matter, cortex and deep gray matter of the central nervous system and is characterized by inflammatory-demyelinating lesions and neuronal/axonal degeneration. Demyelination associated with these lesions and the accompanying axonal degeneration are responsible for neurological disability in MS. There are many scales and mobility and functional performance tests in the literature to assess balance, such as the Sit Reach Test, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (5) and Balance Evaluation System Test (BESTest). The most appropriate balance assessment scales for individuals with MS are those that assess static and dynamic sitting balance while standing and dynamic balance only. Since balance in individuals with MS is a dynamic process that changes gradually, new measurement methods that can record these changes and determine the appropriate treatment for these variables are needed. The Dubousset Functional Test (DFT) was developed by Dr. Jean Dubousset as a four-component practical assessment to evaluate the physical function and balance capacity of individuals with spinal deformity. The DFT consists of four components: getting up from an armless chair and walking 5 meters forward and backward, ascending and descending steps, transition from …
