“…Assisting toe-clearance in swing is an important objective, since trips are the most frequent type of falls experienced by people with MS [47]. This compensation may be aided by progressive resistance training since this has previously been shown to lead to improved toe clearance during gait in people with MS [48].…”

“…Due to this decrease in mobility and activity, the motor range of joints in various parts of the body is reduced, and as time goes on, the individual experiences a reduction in flexibility, muscle weakness, loss of strength and muscular endurance, which together causes a variety of pain and discomfort in various parts of the body, especially the neck (17)(18)(19). Patients with MS have disturbances in the neck region and are exposed to kyphoscoliosis due to the muscular imbalance, resulting in a severe pressure on nerves (19).…”

Background. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, inflammatory, and chronic disease which, under the effect of the wastes of myelin degradation occurs in the white matter of the brain, spinal cord, and visual nerves. The main complications of this disease are fatigue, muscle cramps, tremor, imbalance, and walking imbalance. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to investigate the spine orientation in people with multiple sclerosis. Methods. The statistical population of this study included all patients with MS in Kerman province and the sample of this study includes 30 patients with mild MS (mean age of 33.83±8.72 years, mean height of 159.77±4.54 cm, mean weight of 63.1±11.16 kg) and 30 healthy subjects (mean age of 31.07±8.84 years, mean height of 162.58±6.61 cm, mean weight of 61.43±11.3 kg), targeted randomly selected as the subjects. First, the patients were examined by a neurologist and the EDSS of each subject was evaluated. Then their demographic data including age, height, and weight were collected. For evaluation of spinal abnormalities including torticollis and forward head, shooting method with the use of -Power shot A1200 HD Canon camera, with 0.73 validity was used; and kyphosis and lordosis abnormalities were measured using a flexible ruler, the validity of the device in comparison with the radiography technique was reported by Thylatson and Borton (1991) as 93%. In research, Hart & Rose (1986) and Lowell et al. (1989) stated the reliability of this device as 97% and 84%, respectively, and scoliometer was used for scoliosis abnormalities. The validity of this device was reported by Guillemhem et al. as 0.87. Results. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between forward head, torticollis, and lordosis abnormalities in patients with mild MS and healthy subjects (p˂0.05), while there is significant relationship between kyphosis and scoliosis (p˂0.05). Conclusion. Regarding factors such as fatigue, muscle cramping, tremor, walking abnormalities in people with multiple sclerosis and observation of some spinal abnormalities in these individuals, the implementation of corrective exercises and programs to correct postures, in them, seems necessary.

“…The benefits of exercise in those with MS has been investigated in relation to aerobic interventions [11][12][13][14][15] , resistance interventions [16][17][18][19][20][21] or balance interventions 3,22 . Some studies have investigated combined exercise which includes aerobic, resistance and/or balance components in each session [23][24][25][26][27][28] .…”

Objective: To establish the effects of a twelve week, community based, group exercise intervention for people moderately affected with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (Extended Disability Status Score 5-6.5). Design: Randomised controlled pilot trialSetting: Two community leisure centres.Participants: 32 subjects with MS were randomised into an intervention or control group. Intervention:The intervention group received twelve weeks of twice weekly, 60 minute group exercise sessions, which included mobility, balance and resistance exercises. The control group received usual care. Main Outcome measures:An assessor blinded to group allocation assessed participants at baseline, after eight weeks and after twelve weeks (i.e after the intervention period). The primary outcome measure was 25 Foot Walk time (T25FW), secondary outcomes assessed walking endurance, balance, physical function, leg strength, body mass index, activity levels, fatigue, anxiety and depression, quality of life and goal attainment. ResultsThe intervention led to an improvement in all outcome measures. Physical activity results showed a significant group effect (p<0.001) and interaction effect (p=0.009), post hoc analysis revealed this was significant at week eight (p<0.001) and week twelve (p=0.005).Balance confidence results showed a significant group effect (p=0.001). Good effect sizes were found for activity levels (d=1.05), dynamic balance (d=0.80), perceived balance (d=0.94) and leg strength (d=1.33). Conclusion:Although further research is required, the results of the study suggest that community based group exercise classes are a feasible option for people moderately affected with MS, and offer benefits such as improved physical activity levels, balance and leg strength.3
