“…In a study involving 30 men and women with MS, the effect of eight weeks of home-based neurofunctional training (HBNFT) TUG, 6MWT, and 10MWT was compared with home-based resistance training (HBRT) performed in three sessions per week. The results showed only a significant effect on 6MWT, while no significant changes or differences were observed in the other factors, which is in line with the findings of the current research [47]. Therefore, additional study is guaranteed to discover the role of various factors, such as exercise type, exercise environment, different exercise intensities, gender, age range, sample size, sample characteristics, and the severity and type of the disease.…”

Purpose: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease with a very high prevalence all over the world in recent years. Therefore, this research intended to examine the impact of resistance and aerobic exercises on selected functional capacities and cognitive indicators in depressed women with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods:The current study was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. In this survey, 30 women with MS (25-50 years old) with an expanded disability status scale range between 0-5.5, and depression among those who visited the neurology clinic at Guilan University of Medical Sciences (Bethat) were selected. The study included a control group (n=10) and two intervention groups: resistance (n=10) and aerobic (n=10) exercises. To evaluate the variables of stress, depression, fatigue, and functional capacities, the following questionnaires and tests were used: Perceived stress scale, Beck's depression inventory, fatigue severity scale, 10-meter walk test (10MWT), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), timed up and go (TUG), and 30-second chair stand (30 CST) tests. Exercises of aerobic were done at an intensity of 40_60% of the maximum rate of heart for 10-30 minutes. Home-based resistance training, including a hypertrophy phase (four weeks), and strength and power phase (four weeks) was conducted at an intensity of 0.5-1.5% of the subjects' body weight. The duration of the training for both groups was eight weeks. The data were analyzed by repeated-measures two-way ANOVA by SPSS software, version 26. The significance level was set at 0.05.Results: Both resistance and aerobic training had a significant intra-group impact on various factors (P≤0.05). Specifically, perceived stress (P=0.01) and depression level (P=0.001), and 10-MWT (P=0.01), 6MWT (P=0.001), and 30 CST (P=0.001) results showed statistically notable improvements. Regarding the inter-group effect, notable dissimilarities were seen in depression and functional strength of lower limbs (30 CST) among the three groups (P≤0.05). Noteworthy, variations were also found in fatigue and the timed up-and-go test. Conclusion:Both aerobic and resistance exercises can be considered effective interventions for improving depression, perceived stress, and functional capacity in individuals with MS.

“…Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is defined as a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) [1]. There is degeneration and inflammation of the white and gray matter of the CNS, resulting in a disturbance in the cognitive and motor levels of the patients [2]. It occurs with greater frequency in the age group of 20-50 years, with twice the probability of occurrence of the disease in the female sex [1,[3][4][5].…”

The validity and reliability of the Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test (LEMOCOT) were assessed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study involved 60 participants diagnosed with MS (mean age: 48.13 years, range: 24–80 years). Intra-rater reliability was assessed within-day (n = 12), and inter-rater reliability was assessed within-day (n = 45) and between-days (n = 22). For known-groups validity, test scores were compared between participants of different sexes; for convergent validity, test scores were correlated with age, the Five-Repetition Sit-to-Stand test (FSTS), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). To test the discriminant validity, the LEMOCOT test scores were correlated with the Mini-Mental State Evaluation (MMSE) and compared according to social history (living alone or not). The LEMOCOT test was tested under three different conditions and found to be very reliable (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC2,1 > 0.94) with an acceptable error level (standard error of the measurement, SEM, between 1.39 and 3.47 targets and 95% minimum detectable change; MDC95%, between 3.84 and 9.58 targets). Convergent validity was verified, as the LEMOCOT registered very strong correlations with the FSTS test (r = −0.851) and the BBS scale (r = 0.815), a strong correlation with the LEFS scale (r = 0.78), a moderate correlation with the EDSS scale (r = −0.634), all highly significant (p < 0.001), and a weak correlation with age (r = −0.332, p < 0.01). Discriminant validity was also confirmed, as the LEMOCOT demonstrated a weak correlation with the MMSE scale (r = 0.365, p = 0.017) and no differences relative to living environment or sex. The LEMOCOT demonstrated excellent reliability and validity for patients with MS.
