The dance group, each patient received a goal-oriented line dancing program.

The control group did not receive any treatment program during this period.

The intervention included 60-minute sessions, two days a week for four weeks for a total of eight sessions. All sessions were administered by the physiotherapist who has 26 years of experience in dance therapy. The dance was performed on a one to one basis with minimal support from the therapist. The line dancing sequence, which was specially created for this training program, was designed as a structured goal-oriented dance. Line dancing movements/steps are comprised of moving forward and backward, or sideways and turns and scuff. In addition, the fact that one foot is always in contact with the ground makes it ideal for patients with multiple sclerosis, who may have balance problems.

On the scale which consists of 14 questions, individuals are given points between 0 and 4 for each question. High scores indicate good balance and low scores indicate poor balance (41-56=independent, 21-40=walks with assistance, 0-20=dependent)

The scale consists of 14 items, 7 of which investigate symptoms of anxiety and 7 of which investigate symptoms of depression. The scale is evaluated between 0-3 points. The cut-off value for anxiety is 10/11, and the cut-off value for depression is 7/8.
