Balance challenges using unstable surfaces, like foam pads and balance boards, to stimulate sensory pathways. Spasticity Management Protocols
Implement gentle active-assisted range of motion (ROM), positioning to prevent contractures, and energy conservation. Avoid vigorous or fatiguing exercises while the patient is undergoing high-dose corticosteroid treatment. 2. Remission and Maintenance Phase
A temporary worsening of neurological symptoms caused by an elevation in core body temperature.

A 2025 network meta‑analysis of 31 RCTs involving 1,232 MS patients found that exercise interventions are overall superior to conventional treatment in alleviating fatigue. showed the most significant effect (SMD = –0.91, p = 0.023). Interventions lasting more than eight weeks, particularly resistance training and hippotherapy, demonstrated greater benefits. Women with MS experienced significant improvements in both fatigue and quality of life following resistance training.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It creates complex, unpredictable neurological deficits. Because these symptoms evolve over time, physical therapy is essential for managing the disease. Balance challenges using unstable surfaces, like foam pads
Progressive resistance training counteracts muscle weakness. It targets major lower limb muscle groups. 2 to 3 days per week. Intensity: 60% to 80% of one-repetition maximum (1RM). Focus: Functional movements like squats and step-ups. Aerobic Conditioning
: Manual therapy and specific stretching exercises help alleviate muscle stiffness and pain.
