Physiotherapy for Multiple Sclerosis Patients From Early to Transition Phase: A Scoping Review

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that has an impact when they are at the most susceptible aspects of personal, professional, and social development. MS affects about 2.2 million individuals worldwide, with the majority of individuals experiencing relapses regularly. The progression of the disease's complex nature, the challenges in selecting the appropriate intervention, and a multitude of symptoms necessitate a systematic approach to the individual that includes both pharmacology and neurorehabilitation. Kinesiotherapy, exercise rehabilitation, massage, and hydrotherapy are all forms of physiotherapy that are used as part of rehabilitation. Physical exercise will mitigate the potential effects of akinesia and so enhance the functioning capacities of all bodily systems, regardless of the severity of the illness. An early examination by a physical therapist who is familiar with MS is advised to develop a customized training and/or lifestyle physical exercise program. Although hospital-based rehabilitation programs appear to have a higher impact, numerous studies have found that home-based rehabilitation is helpful. The constraint imposed by COVID-19 has an influence on the well-being of persons with multiple sclerosis. People with MS would be particularly affected, since they might be considered an at-risk group for serious COVID-19 in a variety of ways, and MS health-related data requirements increased significantly.

The Need for Long-Term Physiotherapeutic Care in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

“…Редуцирането на активността и забавяне прогресията на болестта се постига, като се следват принципите на съвременното лечение. За да се въздейства върху възпалителната активност, е важно лечението да започне по-рано, тъй като с прогресиране на заболяването автоимунните отговори се потискат все по-трудно (2,3,4,8,10,11,12,15,16).…”
