Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find effective physical therapy treatments for individuals who have severe multiple sclerosis Physical therapy treatments for mild-to-moderate multiple sclerosis exists however very limited research has been done for physical therapy for severe multiple sclerosis MS In this study 10 participants diagnosed with severe MS will engage in 1-hour physical therapy sessions twice a week for 6 weeks to address limitations in standing balancing and bed mobility
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility safety and efficacy of task-specific physical therapy for persons with severe MS The hypothesize for this study that a task-specific physical therapy program is safe feasible and effective in persons with severe MS
Multiple studies have confirmed the effectiveness of task specific physical therapy for persons with MS HoweverMS is a progressive disease which can lead to mild to severe disability and the studies examining the effectiveness of task specific therapy have only been conducted on persons with mild to moderate MS impairments The small amount of research on physical therapy for persons with severe disability due to MS has only looked at the use of generalized conditioning exercises1 Task specific therapy has been shown to be effective in persons with severe disability in non-MS neurologic disorders2 The effectiveness of task specific exercises on persons with severe MS not been studied Based on the previous scientific evidence of the effectiveness of task-specific physical therapy in MS subjects with mild-to-moderate disability there is strong scientific justification for conducting a trial of task specific therapy on persons with severe disability due to MS
The results of this study will be presented at various conferences attended by physical therapists as well as other health care practitioners who specialize in MS care including the American Physical Therapy Combined Sections Meeting as well as the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers annual meeting Additionally upon completion of the study we will submit a manuscript to the appropriate peer review journal
