Brief Summary:
The investigators aimed in this study to measure the muscular strength, cardiovascular system and quality of life effects of rehabilitation with aerobic and isokinetic exercise program in MS patients.
Detailed Description:
A total of 40 patients enrolled in the study from outpatient clinics were included. Two groups were formed, namely 'aerobic exercise' and 'isokinetic exercise' groups. Using modified Bruce protocol, effort capacities were measured with Humac Norm Cybex dynamometer, 6 min. walking distance and MSQOL-54 scale were used to assess the quality of life. The aerobic exercise group by using treadmill their walking speeds were adjusted according to the maximum speed at which the person could walk was performed for a period of ; 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 30-45 minutes each patient according to the progressive exercise method. 5-10 minutes warm-up exercise was performed before starting to work, 5-10 minutes stretching exercise at the end of the exercise. Patients in the isokinetic exercise group pedaled a bicycle ergometer for warming with low resistance for 5 minutes before starting to exercise, and exercise was applied for 5-10 minutes to cool down at the end of the study. The exercise program was applied for 8 weeks with 3 repetitions per week.
Assessment of exercise capacity (effort capacity) was performed by applying the Norav Trackmaster TMX 425 Treadmill Exercise Device by applying Modified Bruce protocol. Patients' total exercise times were expressed in seconds. Indirect maximum amount of oxygen volume (VO2 max) values were calculated using heart rate obtained with submaximal treadmill exercise.All the cases participating in the study were compared in terms of the pre-treatment MSQoL-54 scale and the MSQoL-54 scale subscale.
