Abstract
Background: Most patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are not only suffering from musculoskeletal symptoms, but also from a variety of neurological and vestibular-based symptoms, increasing their risk of falling and impedes recovery.

Subjects and methods: thirty medically-referred MS patients of both genders, with age between 25-49 years old participated in this study, selected from multiple sclerosis unit , Faculty of medicine, Cairo University. Patients were divided into two groups; Study group (A), received a selected physical therapy program (muscle strengthening, weight bearing exercises and Postural reeducation). Study group (B), received a specific vestibular rehabilitation program. Treatment sessions were conducted three times per week, for six consecutive weeks. Session lasted for 45 minutes in both study groups. Biodex balance master indices and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials were used to assess and establish the patients{u2019} results evoked latencies
