Effects of a resistance training program and subsequent detraining on muscle strength and muscle power in multiple sclerosis patients.
- 2014
Medicine
A 12-week RTP improved MVIC and muscle power in multiple sclerosis patients and blunted strength training adaptations in MS patients, although muscle power training adaptations were still evident after the detraining period.

Medicine
It is suggested that 12 wk of high-speed power training improve both MVIC and muscle power at five different loads in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Time course of strength adaptations following high-intensity resistance training in individuals with multiple sclerosis
- 2017
Medicine
Preliminary evidence showed that 3 weeks of high-intensity resistance training induces consistent and meaningful improvements in muscle performance of the ankle dorsiflexors in PwMS, which may have practical dose–response and cost-effectiveness implications in the management of MS-induced muscle weakness.
Neuromuscular adaptations to long-term progressive resistance training translates to improved functional capacity for people with multiple sclerosis and is maintained at follow-up

Medicine
Compelling evidence is provided, that PRT performed over sufficiently long periods, improves functional capacity, likely due to neuromuscular adaptations.
Fast-velocity resistance training improves force development and mobility in Multiple Sclerosis

Medicine
The fast-velocity concentric resistance training has the potential to improve early rate of force development and mobility and the increase in self-perceived quality of life following this training modality demonstrates promising results in the Multiple Sclerosis population.

The Effect of Eight Weeks of Aerobic Exercise on Balance Function and Physiological Cost Index in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
- 2020
Medicine
Aerobic exercise can improve both static and dynamic balance and increase the Physiological Cost Index in M.S patients and these exercises are recommended for patients with MS.
Effect of Neuromuscular Exercises on Strength, Proprioceptive Receptors, and Balance in Females with Multiple Sclerosis

Medicine
Neuromuscular exercise training is effective in improving balance, strength, and reducing the proprioceptive error in people with MS, and it could be recommended as modalities for these patients.
Effect of a Combined Program of Strength and Dual Cognitive-Motor Tasks in Multiple Sclerosis Subjects
- 2020
Medicine
Performance in daily activities such as walking or sitting-to-standing improved significantly in multiple sclerosis participants, and CTP training was effective in reducing the dual-task costs of step length and walking velocity, as compared to a matched control group.

Evidence is provided that MST is effective of augmenting the magnitude of efferent motor output of spinal motor neurons in MS patients, alleviating some neuromuscular symptoms linked to the disease.
Enhanced corticomotor excitability with dynamic fatiguing exercise of the lower limb in multiple sclerosis
- 2008
Medicine
Mild to moderately affected MS subjects can perform a fatiguing exercise requiring a high level of central motor control but this is associated with a greater strength loss and increase in corticomotor excitability compared to unaffected individuals.

The results indicate that increasing the mass of their muscles by training may help to reduce the excessive muscle fatigue of MS patients.
An electrophysiological study of the mechanism of fatigue in multiple sclerosis.
- 1997
Medicine
Excessive 'physiological' fatigue contributes to the symptom of fatigue in multiple sclerosis and is central in origin, while no conclusive evidence is found that central fatigue is related to increased dysfunction in the primary central motor pathways and no evidence that FDCB is the pathophysiological mechanism.

Medicine
Weakness and walking impairment, but not fatigue, were related to impaired central activation in MS, and these findings may help optimize rehabilitation strategies designed to improve function in persons with MS.

- 1995
Medicine
Results suggests that fatigue in MS has both central (perception, upper motor neuron dysfunction) and peripheral (impaired metabolism and excitation–contraction coupling) components.

Medicine
PRT has a positive effect on muscle strength for persons with MS and the effect on functional capacity and self-reported measures probably because of differences in training protocols, samples sizes, type and severity of MS.
