“…51,52 Karim et al showed that playing exergames resulted in a robust hyperemic response in the superior temporal gryus and supramarginal gyrus, 51 indicating that these areas were important for balance. Furthermore, the duration of this response after cessation was prolonged (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) s longer than what would be expected), suggesting an adaptation of the vestibular network in response to the balance task. After 12-weeks of Wii balance training, Prosperini et al showed an improvement in balance, 52 suggesting a functional restoration (i.e.…”

Gaming technology -exergaming -is a novel tool to facilitate exercise, improve balance, and encourage rehabilitation training. This review will describe some of the key exergame research to promote physical activity and its use in rehabilitation in other diseases or clinical populations. We will then describe the current state of research in exergaming in people with multiple sclerosis and describe the theories for the mechanism behind some of the improvements in outcomes seen after using exergaming. Lastly, we will identify gaps in the literature and provide directions for future work in this growing area. The current work is contradictory and there is no consensus with regards to training duration/intensity and the outcomes used to assess the clinical effectiveness. This in part is due to the off-the-shelf nature of the games used. A more satisfactory approach would be the development of bespoke games which match a clinical need. Exergames are seen as enjoyable and could be effective in enhancing adherence to rehabilitation. However, the definitive RCT has yet to be carried out comparing exergaming to traditional exercise.

Use of virtual reality (VR) and serious games (SGs) interventions within rehabilitation as motivating tools for task specific training for individuals with neurological conditions are fast-developing. Within this perspective paper we use the framework of the IV STEP conference to summarize the literature on VR and SG for children and adults by three topics: Prevention; Outcomes: Body-Function-Structure, Activity and Participation; and Plasticity. Overall the literature in this area offers support for use of VR and SGs to improve body functions and to some extent activity domain outcomes. Critical analysis of clients' goals and selective evaluation of VR and SGs are necessary to appropriately take advantage of these tools within intervention. Further research on prevention, participation, and plasticity is warranted. We offer suggestions for bridging the gap between research and practice integrating VR and SGs into physical therapist education and practice.

“…The inclusion criteria varied considerably between the studies. All studies included participants with de initively diagnosed MS, but only 5 studies required the diagnosis to be de ined in accordance with the McDonald criteria, [33][34][35][36]12]. Nine studies included either a partial or complete breakdown of the subtypes of MS, which identi ied Relapse-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) as the leading sub-type; (RRMS n=425 (85.5% of reported MS sub-type), Primary Progressive MS (PPMS) n=22, Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS) n= 50, Unknown n=221).…”

Background: Telerehabilitation has been identifi ed as an effective treatment that promotes exercise rehabilitation in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Social support is recognised as a core element of such interventions. However further research is needed to consider the role and value of different social support domains. Aim:Review available literature to assess and synthesise the use and value of social support within telerehabilitation interventions for individuals with MS.Method: A narrative synthesis was conducted. A systematic search of included articles was conducted. Electronic databases were searched from inception to January 2017. Other search methods were undertaken. Evaluation and synthesis of included articles utilised risk of bias assessment and a 4-stage synthesis process.Main Results: A total of fourteen studies, involving 718 participants (505 female, 213 male; aggregated mean age 47.6 years) with MS, were included. Esteem support was the most frequently reported method of social support, followed by informational, emotional and tangible. It would appear social support can be benefi cial in assisting participants to adhere to treatment interventions. Visual feedback may be directly benefi cial to improve impaired balance in individuals with MS. A model for future interventions is provided. Conclusions:Social support appears to increase the adherence of participants with MS to telerehabilitation interventions. Unique fi ndings provide an indication for the direction and content of future interventions. Further research is necessary to ascertain the optimal types and frequencies of social support delivery and its effect on health outcomes for participants with MS.
