Measures the impact of fatigue on daily living.
Promoting mobility, managing symptoms (fatigue, spasticity), and preventing secondary complications.
Subjective & Objective Assessment (Key components of physical examination).
2–3 days per week, 2–3 sets of 8–12 repetitions at 60–80% of 1-Repetition Maximum.
MS occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. This disrupts communication between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, leading to permanent nerve damage or deterioration. The Four Main Clinical Phenotypes physiotherapy management of multiple sclerosis ppt upd
A comprehensive assessment is the foundation of any MS physiotherapy plan:
What specific or stage of MS your presentation targets?
Target major muscle groups, focusing heavily on the lower extremities (quadriceps, hip flexors, dorsiflexors) to directly improve gait mechanics.
Measuring the impact of fatigue on daily life using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). 2. Core Treatment Strategies Measures the impact of fatigue on daily living
Continuous worsening of symptoms from onset without distinct relapses.
Prolonged static stretching, low-load prolonged positioning, splinting, and hydrotherapy.
Use of unstable surfaces like foam pads or balance boards.
Increased muscle tone causing stiffness and painful spasms. 2–3 days per week, 2–3 sets of 8–12
