Background: Core stability training is popular in the management of people with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, scientific evidence to support its effectiveness scarce. Objective: To explore core on balance and mobility. Method: A multi-centre series eight single case studies was undertaken. Eight ambulant individuals stable MS participated 16 face-to-face sessions, delivered by a neurophysiotherapist, plus daily home exercise programme. range outcomes were measured: 10-m timed walk,...
Purpose: This mixed methods study aimed to explore the feasibility, efficacy and participants' experiences of a Pilates programme for people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) who use wheelchair. Method: Fifteen pwMS took part in 12-week programme. At baseline after 6 12 weeks programme, sitting stability, measured as maximum progression Centre Pressure when leaning sideways (COPmax), posture, pain on Visual Analogue Scale, function, fatigue impact MS (MSIS29) were assessed. Ten participants two...
Background People with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) often experience a disturbed gait function such as foot-drop. The objective of this pilot study was to investigate the medium term effects using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) treat foot-drop over period 12 weeks on and patient reported outcomes pwMS. Methods Findings Nine pwMS aged 35 64 (2 males, 7 females) were assessed four occasions; before baseline, at baseline after six twelve FES use. Joint kinematics performance 10 meter 2...
A constructivist phenomenological study explored impacts of ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) or functional electrical stimulation (FES) on people with foot-drop from multiple sclerosis (MS).Focus groups following topic guides were analysed using interpretative analysis, researcher reflexivity, participant verification and peer checking analysis. Participants sustained use the devices (under 2 y) invited two quantitative studies that (a) investigated immediate FES effects (n = 12) (b) compared...
To assess whether the application of Functional Electrical Stimulation improves gait kinematics and walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis who experience foot drop.Acute open labelled comparative observation trial.Twelve (3 females, 9 males, EDSS 2-4) relapsing remitting (47.8 years (standard deviation 6.6)) were new users functional electrical stimulation.Gait recorded using 3D analysis. Walking was assessed through 10-m walk test 6-min test. All assessments performed without...
Abstract In a pilot study, the authors distributed brief questionnaire dealing with psychosocial concerns to 200 students awaiting treatment in student health service at large urban university. They hypothesized that administered immediately before visited physician or family nurse practitioner would encourage discuss problems such as anxiety and depression during medical session. Using questionnaire, they found, led practitioner's discovery of condition requiring explaining problem had not...
Purpose: This cross-sectional survey explored the management of sleep disturbance by multiple sclerosis (MS) nurses and therapists. Method: 256 MS professionals were invited to anonymously complete a describe their current practice regarding disturbance. Results: The 181 respondents (71% response rate) worked across range settings, typically within multidisciplinary team (74%) an (58%) or neurology (29%) environment; almost half (44%) had in this area for over 10 years. Although most (86%)...
