Balance Training Can Improve Balance In Those suffering With MS

Effects of Vestibular Rehabilitation on Multiple Sclerosis–Related Fatigue and Upright Postural Control:

A Randomized Controlled Trial

Fatigue and impaired upright postural control (balance) are the 2 most common findings in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), with treatment approaches, including balance training, varying greatly in effectiveness and ability to improve balance.

The aim of this study was to investigate the benefits of implementing a vestibular rehabilitation program to decrease fatigue and improve balance in patients with MS.

Specific Balance Exercises Improve Balance in MS Patients

Intervention-The experimental group underwent vestibular rehabilitation including balance exercises, the exercise control group underwent bicycle endurance and stretching exercises, and the wait-listed control group received usual medical care.

Results of The Study Show Improved Balance in MS Patients

RESULTS: Following intervention, the experimental group had greater improvements in fatigue, balance, and disability due to dizziness or disequilibrium compared with the exercise control group and the wait-listed control group.

Conclusion: A 6-week vestibular rehabilitation program demonstrated both statistically significant and clinically relevant change in fatigue, improved balance, and disability due to dizziness or disequilibrium in patients with MS.

As we can see from this study, balance exercises help a wide variety of people improve balance. Studies that we have looked at previously detailed that people with diabetes or over 60 years old were able to also improve balance through specific balance exercises. HOW ENCOURAGING!!
