This study is justified by the fact that Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive disease that affects young adults and has a major biopsychosocial impact on society, since these patients are at the peak of their productive activity. This study aims to contribute to a greater understanding by physiotherapy professionals of the clinical aspects of MS patients, as well as guiding and improving the monitoring and treatment strategies offered by health services. Studies on balance are of vital importance to the scientific community, since it is a determining factor in the quality of life of patients with MS. This will provide ways of learning more about this disease, enabling scientific society to carry out more studies that can corroborate the findings in the literature, emphasising physiotherapy treatment to provide better functional capacity, increase life expectancy and considerably improve patients’ quality of life.
