Background: Fear of progression (FoP) is a reactive, conscious concern about chronic disease and its consequences which may limit quality life substantially. Only one study has examined FoP in Parkinson’s (PD), showing the second highest scores among diseases. Objective: To examine prevalence to exploratorily analyze determinants PD. Methods: Within multicenter cross-sectional study, 120 PD inpatients (age: 64.45±9.20; 60.8% male; UPDRS-III: 28.86±16.12) were with questionnaire (FoP-Q; max....
BACKGROUND: The negative impact of cognitive dysfunction on motor rehabilitation as a relearning-process is well known in stroke patients. However, evidence for combined and training (CMT) lacking. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects CMT early rehabilitation. METHODS: In controlled pilot study, 29 moderately affected patients with low-level performance impairment received therapy plus either (experimental group, EG) or low-frequency ergometer (control CG) eight days. RESULTS: Both groups...
Multimodal agility-based exercise training (MAT) has been described as a framework for fall prevention in the elderly but might also be valuable concept persons with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS).Current recommendations advise pwMS to perform multitude of different activities, each these its separate evidence. However, struggle even more than general population physically active. Additionally, often leads co-occurring mobility and cognitive dysfunctions, which simultaneous, time-efficient,...
Abstract Background Multimodal agility-based exercise training (MAT) is a group-based framework for persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) potential to impact fatigue and fatigability. In mixed-methods design, this study evaluated the feasibility of implementing MAT in an inpatient rehabilitation setting randomized controlled trial (RCT) protocol ‘traditional’ strength endurance (SET) as active control condition. Secondarily, preliminary outcome data was acquired. Methods PwMS low moderate...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease with an uncertain course. Wisdom and self-management are skills that can be used to cope uncertainty unpredictable life stresses. The present study aims identify relevant wisdom for coping fear of progression (FoP), widely underdiagnosed real-life in response risk factor depression anxiety patients MS (PwMS). Ninety-two German inpatients aged 24–64 years predominantly relapsing–remitting (72,8%) were included this study. Correlation...
Fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS) is common, burdensome, and usually assessed by self-report measures. This retrospective data analysis of the twice-daily Alertness test (Test battery Attentional Performance) examined extent to which this assessment procedure associated with MS-related fatigue.Two-hundred thirteen German inpatients (136 women) aged 18-69 years predominantly relapsing MS (72.8%) were included. Based on reaction time (RT) differences between morning tonic alertness...
Introduction Subjective fatigue and objectively assessed fatigability are common symptoms in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Recent work has suggested a positive effect of balance motor control training (BMCT) reducing fatigue. It is unclear whether this can also be attained during inpatient rehabilitation. Multimodal agility-based exercise (MAT) been developed as framework that incorporates BMCT added agility components but not applied to pwMS. Therefore, study will evaluate the...
Background Face masks protrude into the lower visual field causing reduced perception of stimuli, potentially making obstacle avoidance during walking more difficult and increasing fall risk. Recommendations on mask wearing for older adults have been debated, with no clear consensus various factors interacting influencing safety while a face mask. It is particularly important to address this issue in populations at an increased risk falls. Therefore, study aims investigate effects...
