Study Notes
Exercise Interventions for Multiple Sclerosis
- Study conducted by Hoang et al in 2014 focuses on exercise interventions for multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Preliminary results showed changes in passive and active range of motion after 12 weeks of eccentric training
- Foot drop and knee hyper-extension are common consequences of muscle weakness in MS
- Falls are highly prevalent in MS, with about 60% of people with MS expected to fall in the next 3 months
- A study on interventions to reduce falls in MS found that a home-based Smart Stepping Mat significantly reduced the rate of falls
- Impaired mobility and walking gait in MS can be improved through exercise, especially when treatments are initiated early
- Exercise for people with MS should address multifactorial problems including joint contractures, foot drop, and knee hyperextension
- Recommended exercise interventions for people with MS with EDSS ≤ 6.5 include aerobic exercise training, resistance exercise training, and stretching
- Exercise intensity should be adjusted to accommodate fatigue and reduced during acute exacerbation of symptoms
- Resistance exercise should be initiated and continued under supervision by clinical exercise professionals
- Stretching is recommended for individuals with MS with EDSS 6.5 or over, those with spasticity, or joint contractures
- Regular review and adjustments to exercise difficulty levels are recommended to accommodate individual needs and progress
