What this trial studies

This study investigates the feasibility and safety of administering the 360-degree turn test via telehealth for patients with multiple sclerosis. Participants will perform the test in their home environment during a videoconferencing appointment with a trained clinician. The study aims to compare telehealth methods with traditional face-to-face evaluations to determine if they are equally effective. Clinicians will receive training to ensure standardized and safe test administration.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a safe and accessible way for patients with multiple sclerosis to assess their balance and mobility from home.

How similar studies have gone: While telehealth approaches are gaining traction, this specific application of the 360-degree turn test via telehealth is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
