“…The individuals with MS perceive themselves as performing worse or less efficiently than before regarding certain daily activities; this will lead to either abandoning or performing these activities less often, which will unavoidably affect their quality of life. This corresponds with previous studies [33][34][35], which indicate how the state of mind of the person with MS affects their perceived health and quality of life.…”

Background. Multiple sclerosis is a disorder which causes a loss of functionality, affecting the person’s ability to perform activities of daily living, such as interpersonal interactions and relationship, dressing, self-care, or bathing, as well as having a negative impact on work and leisure activities. Aims. This study examined the relationship (correlational or associations/predictive) between self-perceived quality of life and performance of manipulative dexterity. Also, this study sought to measure predictors of dexterity. Study Design. A cross-sectional study from two associations of MS within the Community of Madrid, Spain. Methods and Procedures. A final sample of 30 people with multiple sclerosis. The outcome measures used were the ABILHAND questionnaire, the Purdue Pegboard Test, the Nine Hole Peg Test, and the Box and Block Test. Results. No significant correlations were found between dexterity and self-perception tests; however, correlations were found between perceived dexterity and quality of life ( p < 0.001 ). Scores for the ABILHAND questionnaire, which measures the perception of skills in daily living, predicted up to 60% of the variance in the dexterity tests. Conclusions. The results of this study suggest that interventions for improving the manipulative dexterity of people with multiple sclerosis should address the person’s perception of improving their manipulative dexterity and the perceived of quality of life, as both factors may influence manipulative dexterity.

“…13 14 The impact of MS on QoL can be affected by numerous diseaserelated factors, such as disability level or MS type, and individual factors such as social support, education, age or employment. [15][16][17][18] Identification of risk and protective factors is a key point in implementing strategies to improve patient's QoL. 7 In this context, all influences must be considered to contribute to QoL in MS. 7 19 In addition to providing practitioners with useful information on the impact of symptoms and therapy on the patient's life, QoL is also an indicator of treatment success and a predictor of disease progression.…”

Quality of life in adults with multiple sclerosis: a systematic review

et al. 2020

ObjectiveIn recent years, quality of life (QoL) in multiple sclerosis (MS) has been gaining considerable importance in clinical research and practice. Against this backdrop, this systematic review aimed to provide a broad overview of clinical, sociodemographic and psychosocial risk and protective factors for QoL in adults with MS and analyse psychological interventions for improving QoL.MethodThe literature search was conducted in the Scopus, Web of Science and ProQuest electronic databases. Document type was limited to articles written in English, published from January 1, 2014, to January 31, 2019. Information from the selected articles was extracted using a coding sheet and then qualitatively synthesised.ResultsThe search identified 4886 records. After duplicate removal and screening, 106 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis and were assessed for study quality. Disability, fatigue, depression, cognitive impairment and unemployment were consistently identified as QoL risk factors, whereas higher self-esteem, self-efficacy, resilience and social support proved to be protective. The review analysed a wide spectrum of approaches for QoL psychological intervention, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, self-help groups and self-management. The majority of interventions were successful in improving various aspects of QoL.ConclusionAdequate biopsychosocial assessment is of vital importance to treat risk and promote protective factors to improve QoL in patients with MS in general care practice.

“…Central nervous system diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury are common causes of physical, cognitive and/or sensory disability worldwide. Impairments in both upper and lower extremities and trunk control affect the ability to perform activities of daily life (ADL), and consequently impede the quality of life (QoL) of neurological patients [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Studies have already established the importance of rehabilitation for neurological patients to regain functional ability in upper extremities [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

(1) Background: technology-based training systems are increasingly integrated in neurorehabilitation but are rarely combined with a client-centred task-oriented approach. To provide a low-cost client-centred task-oriented system, the intelligent activity-based client-centred task-oriented training (i-ACT) was developed. The objective was to evaluate the usability, credibility and treatment expectancy of i-ACT, and the motivation towards i-ACT use in rehabilitation over time. Additionally, this study will evaluate the upper limb treatment effects after training with i-ACT. (2) Methods: a mixed-method study was performed in four rehabilitation centres. Training with i-ACT was provided during six weeks, three times per week, forty-five minutes per day, additional to conventional care. (3) Results: seventeen persons with central nervous system diseases were included. High scores were seen in the system usability scale (score ≥ 73.8/100), credibility (score ≥ 22.0/27.0)/expectancy (score ≥ 15.8/27.0) questionnaire, and intrinsic motivation inventory (score ≥ 5.2/7.0), except the subscale pressure (score ≤ 2.0/7.0). Results from the interviews corroborate these findings and showed that clients and therapists believe in the i-ACT system as an additional training support system. Upper limb functional ability improved significantly (p < 0.05) over time on the Wolf motor function test. (4) Conclusion: i-ACT is a client-centred task-oriented usable and motivational system which has the potential to enhance upper limb functional training in persons with neurological diseases.
