Impact of Epilepsy on Motor Function, Fatigue, and Quality of Life

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that can significantly affect a person's physical abilities and daily life due to the condition itself and the side effects of anti-epileptic medications. Individuals with epilepsy often experience fatigue, changes in balance, decreased muscle strength, and reduced mobility, which can restrict their activities of daily living and lead to a decline in their overall quality of life.The primary purpose of this observational study is to comprehensively evaluate the functional status and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with epilepsy. To accurately measure these impacts, the study will compare the physical performance, balance, and fatigue levels of epilepsy patients to a healthy control group.The main question this study attempts to answer is: How do functional mobility, balance, fatigue, and quality of life in individuals with epilepsy differ from those of healthy individuals without the condition?By identifying these physical and functional challenges, researchers aim to better understand the relationship between physical capacity and quality of life in this population. Ultimately, the research findings will guide the future development of targeted physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs designed to improve the functional independence and quality of life for individuals living with epilepsy.
