Overview
There is strong evidence that exercise therapy can improve muscle function and mobility in multiple sclerosis patients.[1]
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. Disabilities appear so controlling them can be beneficial in increasing MS patients’ quality of life.[2] There is strong evidence that exercise therapy can improve muscle function and mobility in multiple sclerosis patients.[1] For controlling tremor and ataxia, orthotic devices can be very helpful.[3]
