      <i_freetext>Intervention group: Participants are referred to the hip flexion assist orthosis with the diagnosis of MS according to the expert's opinion. Muscle strength and range of motion of joints, pain and quality of life are assessed before orthosis use. People are explained how to wear, remove and use orthoses and are asked to use orthoses for a month during walking and daily activities. After a month, the pain and quality of life are assessed again. During this time, patients are followed up by telephone..</i_freetext>
