Abstract
Problem statement: Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease that involves the central nervous system, and is defined by neurodegeneration, inflammation, demyelination and axonal injury, inducing extensive physical deterioration. The aim of this study was to identify the results after movement sessions and physical exercises for patients with multiple sclerosis.
Methods: A lot of 10 patients with multiple sclerosis accepted to participate in this study. The patients performed elected physical activities daily for one hour in one session or devided, dependent to their strength, for a period of six months. We performed interviews and the following questionnaire before and after the period of study: the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale Questionnaire and compared the results. The patients' results were compared to a control group of multiple sclerosis patients that did not perform any physical therapy. The both groups of multiple sclerosis patients were on the same stage on the EDSS scale.
Results: The most relevant beneficial results came from the cognitive profile, the patients from the physical activity group, experienced important improvements of their fatigability and depression and anxiety levels. For patients with multiple sclerosis, improving the quality of life by lowering the level of depression and also lowering the level of anxiety is very helpful.
Conclusions: The main idea is that exercise seems to be advisable for patients with multiple sclerosis as part of the neurorehabilitation process and that exercise plays a relevant role in improving the quality of life between patients with multiple sclerosis. Key words: physical therapy, multiple sclerosis, quality of life.
