Correction of motor disorders in patients with multiple sclerosis

Abstract

The main cause of occupational and social activity disorders in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is motor deficit. The genesis of movement disorders reflects multifocal lesions of various parts of the spinal cord and brain. The patient groups were formed according to the EDSS scale: with mild (EDSS 2,5–4,0 b), moderate (EDSS 4,5–5,5 b) and severe motor disorders (6,0–6,5 b). There was performed neurological examination of patients with an assessment of the cognitive and vestibular functions of the body. The dominant syndromes in the development of motor disorders are central paresis, focal, pelvic and cognitive impairments. The developed complex of rehabilitation measures with the use of a stabilometric complex, a treadmill and physiotherapeutic treatment, made it possible to improve the motor function in patients with multiple sclerosis at all stages of the disease. These measures were implemented in the Republican Clinical and Diagnostic Center for demyelinating diseases in Kazan.
