20.500.12556/RUP-22405 Evaluating motor deficits in multiple sclerosis using jump and hop tests a review of current evidence Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that often leads to subtle motor impairments even in early stages. Traditional clinical assessments may fail to detect these early deficits. Jump and hop tasks, requiring complex neuromuscular coordination, have emerged as promising functional assessments in neurological populations. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the use of jump- and hop-based assessments to evaluate motor performance in people with MS (pwMS). A systematic search of PubMed and Scopus was conducted in April 2025. Studies were included if they involved pwMS, used jump or hop tasks, and reported performance, kinetic, or kinematic outcomes. Nine studies met inclusion criteria. Countermovement jumps (CMJ) were most frequently used and consistently detected motor deficits in pwMS, including reduced flight time, jump height, and power output. Single-leg CMJ tests identified asymmetries correlated with disability scores. Bipedal hops revealed impaired coordination and anticipatory control. One study assessed motor fatigability through repetitive jumping, while another evaluated the patient experience of sensor-based jump testing. Jump and hop assessments provide potentially sensitive, non-invasive tools for detecting early motor impairments in MS. They offer potential for improving clinical monitoring and guiding individualized rehabilitation strategies. multiple sclerosis balance jumps multipla skleroza ravnotežje skoki true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-01-07 20:50:08 2026-01-07 20:50:10 2026-01-10 03:05:05 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 65-73 Vol. 22 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-08 616.832-004 1986-6089 10.63356/spl.2025.013 261089283 https://sportlogia.ffvs.unibl.org/SL2025.2/SL6.html 1 6d72dd7b-ec02-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32550 https://doi.org./10.63356/spl.2025.013 1 6e0eb300-ec02-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32551 RAZ_Zura_Eva_2025.pdf RAZ_Zura_Eva_2025.pdf 1 34E352C2F550F0BF5DC22973E46DFD87 5febd061c6e4df3f4bf562961f2408862d32753412cc0dd044f2d1fc5df79925 9579c859-ec02-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32552 Fakulteta za vede o zdravju 0 0 0
