The relationship of pain, anxiety, and fatigue with knee position sense, balance, and dual task performance during menstrual cycle in females with multiple sclerosis.

As a result, there may be a relationship between pain and position sense in the early follicular phase and luteal phase, and a relationship between pain and motor dual task performance in the early follicular phase. Considering these changes occurring in different phases of the menstrual cycle, we think that each phase of the menstrual cycle should be taken into consideration in the follow-up of physiotherapy evaluations in females with multiple sclerosis.
