The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the psychometric properties of HAQ in a population of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study was conducted with patients diagnosed with MS. The evaluation tools administered were the 36-item short form health survey (SF\u201336) to evaluate the health state of the patients and HAQ and to evaluate the limitations of the activities of daily living (ADL).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 34 patients were included in this study. Cronbach's alpha assessed the internal consistency of the HAQ, and it is equal to 0.94. The study revealed some significant correlations between the dimensions of the SF-36 and the sub-categories of the HAQ using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. Significant correlations emerged between the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients and the subcategories of HAQ.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
