AB Fear of movement or kinesiophobia is a health problem related to an irrational fearof physical movement and fatigue that can lead to a limitation of functional capacity and a decreasein daily physical activity. Thus, the purpose of this study was to test the level of kinesiophobia inpeople with multiple sclerosis and compare it with a group of healthy people. The findings of thisresearch support evidence that kinesiophobia is higher in people with multiple sclerosis than in ahealthy control group. Therefore, people with multiple sclerosis should be evaluated and monitoredto plan the treatment and preventive care activities of a multidisciplinary health team (podiatrists,physiotherapists, nurses, physicians, occupational therapists) in the attempt to improve their qualityof life, autonomy, and wellbeing
