Robotic training is commonly used to assist walking in patients affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) with non-conclusive results.To compare the effect of robot-assisted gait (RAGT) that conventional (CWT) on competencies, global ability, fatigue and spasticity a group severely MS.A pilot, single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted 43 severe (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 6-7.5) non-autonomous ambulant in-patients MS. Experimental performed 12 sessions RAGT, whereas...
Background:Balance disorders are present in patients with Multiple Sclerosis and part of these could be vestibular origin. Vestibular Rehabilitation was found to effective improving balance central dysfunction. Objective:To investigate the clinical eff ects rehabilitation on skills secondly fatigue activity daily living highly disabled multiple sclerosis people. Methods:Thirty hospitalized participants severe (EDSS 6-7) were randomly assigned experimental group (15 -9F-; mean age...
Background Pain is a frequent and disabling symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. In this study we assess the frequency intensity of pain, as well its impact on quality life activities daily living, sample MS Methods One hundred twenty eight patients underwent neurological examination, structured interview designed to Medical Outcome 36-item Short Form Health Survey. Functional status was assessed by means Barthel Index (BI) Rivermead Mobility Index. We also presence depression,...
Epidemiological and radiological studies have previously been performed to identify the possible causes of hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP). Many different etiologies postulated, though no clear correlations emerged, a multifactorial pathogenesis HSP has proposed. Recently, two MRI-based described findings as in chronic stroke survivors.The aim this study was describe structural abnormalities painful first months after by ultrasound enhanced MRI. The secondary aims were predisposing factors...
