Sum maryObjective: The aim of this study was to compare proprioceptive acuity and balance parameters in women with and without fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).Materials and Methods: Thirty women with FMS and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.Functional performance by 6-minute walking test (6MWD), proprioceptive acuity by knee joint position sense using an isokinetic dynamometer, balance by the one-legged balance test and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were assessed; and number of falls was recorded in all participants.Pain by the visual analogue scale (VAS pain) and disease activity by the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) were evaluated in all patients.Results: The mean age of the patients and controls were 41±9.20 years and 40.67±9.03years, respectively.There were significant differences between the patients and controls in 6MWD (p<0.05),one-legged balance testing time (p<0.001),and BBS scores (p<0.001).There was no difference in the number of falls and proprioceptive acuity between the patients and controls (p>0.05).VAS pain and FIQ were not correlated with balance tests and proprioceptive acuity; and proprioceptive acuity was not correlated with 6MWD and balance tests in patients (p>0.05).Conclusion: It can be concluded that women with FMS may have poor balance, which is not related to proprioceptive acuity, compared to women without FMS.Turk
