Résumé
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.
