Overview
There is strong evidence that exercise therapy can improve muscle function and mobility in multiple sclerosis patients.
Tertiary Prevention
- The drugs which are used to treat MS can reduce the progression of the disease and delay disability occurrence,but cannot stop the disease. [1]
- Disabilities appear so controlling them can be beneficial in increasing MS patients’ quality of life.
- There is strong evidence that exercise therapy can improve muscle function and mobility in multiple sclerosis patients.[2]
- For controlling tremor and ataxia, orthotic devices can be very helpful.[3]
