Effects of Task-oriented Training on Functional Mobility and Fatigue in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Sponsor: Bezmialem Vakif University
Summary
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is inflammatory, demyelinating and autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. It is usually seen with relapses and genetic and environmental factors play a role in the etiology. Neurological symptoms seen in MS restrict the patient's daily activity and social role participation. Mobility problems and fatigue are the most important reasons of role limitations and decreased quality of life. The importance of exercise training in disease management has been emphasized in recent years. However, few studies have investigated the effects of task-oriented trainings on symptoms of the disease. The aim of this sudy is to investigate the effects of task-oriented training additional to combined exercise training on functional capacity, mobility, balance, fatigue and quality of life in patients with MS.
