Popis: Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between upper extremity function and core muscle endurance in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Methods: Twenty-two PwMS and 20 healthy controls (HC) were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. The upper extremity function was assessed by the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT). In addition, the core muscle endurance was assessed by the side bridge test, trunk flexor endurance test, trunk extensor test, and prone bridge test. Results: Upper extremity function and core muscle endurance (except extensor endurance) in PwMS were lower compared to HC (p
