Fatigue, balance impairment, and fear of falling are common problems in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Previous studies have shown significant associations among these variables; however, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between fatigue and fear of falling remain unclear. It is possible that fatigue increases fear of falling indirectly through its negative effects on balance performance.
