MS lesions can affect the motor, sensory, and visual nerves, leading to impaired balance, muscle tension, and pain. The occurrence of the above can significantly affect quality of life. There is therefore a need to use objective methods of functional assessment for balance and gait disorders in patients with MS. The aim of the study was to assess the functional status and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis with the simultaneous use of an accelerometer and baropodometric mat. Methodology: The research was conducted using functional tests: Tinetti test, Tandem Pivot Test, timed up and go test, and the Berg Balance Scale. In addition, the Sensor Medica baropodometric mat and the Baiobit balance and gait assessment system were used to objectively assess balance and gait. The assessment was performed once. The study involved 34 participants diagnosed with relapsing\u2013remitting multiple sclerosis compared to a control group consisting of healthy individuals with similar demographic data to the study group. Results: Significant differences were found between the study and control groups in both functional and baropodometric assessments as well as when using an accelerometer in the pelvic area. Conclusions: Higher disturbances and differences are detected in the pelvic area; therefore, it is necessary to consider assessment using the simultaneous measurement of the displacement of the center of gravity located both on the pelvis and on the feet during the performance of different tasks\u2014static and dynamic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14113854","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,30]],"date-time":"2025-05-30T08:07:58Z","timestamp":1748592478000},"page":"3854","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pelvic Control Characteristics During Static Balance in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Novel Sensor-Based Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5139-2321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zofia","family":"Dzi\u0119cio\u0142-Anikiej","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"},{"name":"Laboratory of Physical Activity Clinical Research Center (CBK), Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5287-0401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Kuryliszyn-Moskal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alina","family":"Ku\u0142akowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology Clinic, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janusz","family":"Dzi\u0119cio\u0142","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Anatomy, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariusz","family":"Baumgart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Normal Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru\u0144, 87-100 Toru\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9544-168X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amanda Maria","family":"Kostro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Tafti, D., Ehsan, M., and Xixis, K.L.
