Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive and neurodegenerative inflammatory disease that affects young adults. In many countries it has been described as the main cause of neurological incapacity in this age group. Due to the neurological impairment, patients with multiple sclerosis have a high incidence of fall. According to studies, MS patients fall three times more than general population. In the present study, the question to be answered is: education of individuals with MS on fall prevention using the method of online spaced education provides better retention of knowledge than the traditional method? This is a clinical trial to compare two methods of education of MS patients for prevention of fall. First stage: Development and validation of materials. Step two: Pilot questions with MS patients. Step three: Intervention and evaluation of outcome.
