abstract="BACKGROUND: Behavioural symptoms and gait disorders are very common in patients with multiple sclerosis. <br><br>OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between fear of falling and gait instability at one year in patients with multiple sclerosis. <br><br>METHODS: 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. <br><br>RESULTS: Baseline fear of falling score was associated with increased stride time variability at one year during dual-task condition even after adjustment on covariates. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Fear of falling is associated with gait variability at one year, especially under dual-task condition.<br><br>Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
