UNASSIGNED: @entity1 with @entity15 ( @entity15 ) experience a high rate of falls and have decreased static and dynamic balance. The purpose of this study was to determine best predictors of static standing balance, as measured by a @entity4218 ( @entity4218 ) timed test, in ambulatory @entity1 with @entity15 (PwMS) from among commonly used medical and rehabilitation clinical tests. Ambulatory PwMS participated in a single test session. Medical exam data gathered included the @entity262 ( @entity262 ) neurologic exam and Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS). A variety of commonly administered rehabilitation clinical tests addressing static balance, dynamic balance, gait endurance, functional lower extremity strength, abdominal and respiratory muscle strength were completed. Descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlations, and forward step-wise linear regressions were calculated. Twenty-eight ambulatory PwMS completed this study. Mean age was 54.74 years. Mean @entity4218 score was 14.6   s. @entity227 and the EDSS were significantly correlated with @entity4218 . Maximal step length scores were significantly correlated with @entity4218 at P less than 0.05 and the Functional Stair Test (FST) and 6-min walk test were correlated with @entity4218 at P less than 0.10. Medical exam data EDSS and @entity262 sensory explain 72.1% of the variance in @entity4218 scores. Rehabilitation exam data @entity262 sensory and FST explain 68.8% of the variance. The @entity262 sensory, EDSS, and FST together explain 73.3% of the variance.
