Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of comparing Anticipatory motor planning in patients with MS and healthy people. The statistical sample of this study was 21 patients (Mean age=38.06±2.25) and 20 healthy controls (Mean age=37.41±2.34) in Tehran province with an average disability rate of 5 who were randomly selected. In order to investigate the aanticipatory motor planning, the Rosenbaum’s Bar-transport task was used and the percentage of attempts resulting from the upward movement of the palm (critical position) was considered as an anticipatory motor planning criterion. Independent t-test showed that there was a significant difference between two groups of healthy and multiple sclerosis (P≤0.05), and this difference was indicative of Anticipatory motor planning deficits in the group with multiple sclerosis. Therefore, considering the role of Anticipatory motor planning in the processes based on targeted behavior and the impact of these behaviors in the independent life of these patients, it is suggested to find solutions to improve projection in future studies.
