Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic nervous system disease characterized by damage to some regions of the brain and spinal cord and plaque formation. It starts in the 30s and is more common in women. It usually begins with symptoms such as unilateral vision problems, double vision, eye pain, and weakness in the arms and legs. Dizziness and balance disorders may be accompanied by pain and numbness. It usually progresses in attacks, that is, there are periods of pause and repetition.

A comprehensive rehabilitation program is needed in order to prevent functional losses, reduce complaints and increase the patient's quality of life with drugs.

It is possible to benefit from Robotic Walking systems (Lokomat) in the rehabilitation of patients with balance and walking problems.
