Behavioural symptoms and gait disorders are very common in patients with multiple sclerosis.
To evaluate the association between fear of falling and gait instability at one year in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Thirty-five multiple sclerosis patients were included. Fear of falling was assessed by the Fall Efficacy Scale-International and gait variability with stride time variability under single and dual-task conditions at baseline and at one year.
Baseline fear of falling score was associated with increased stride time variability at one year during dual-task condition even after adjustment on covariates.
Fear of falling is associated with gait variability at one year, especially under dual-task condition.
行为症状和步态障碍在多发性硬化症患者中非常常见。
评估多发性硬化症患者一年内跌倒恐惧与步态不稳定之间的关系。
共纳入 35 例多发性硬化症患者。在基线和 1 年时，使用跌倒效能感量表国际版评估跌倒恐惧，在单任务和双任务条件下评估步时变异性。
即使在调整协变量后，基线时的跌倒恐惧评分仍与 1 年时双任务条件下的步时变异性增加相关。
跌倒恐惧与 1 年内的步态变异性相关，尤其是在双任务条件下。
