چکیده مقاله:

Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease caused by the destruction of the myelin sheath in areas of the nerves in the brain. One of the most common problems and complications observed in patients with multiple sclerosis is frequent falls due to impaired postural control. Decreased mobility is one of the main problems of these patients. The aim of this study was to the effect of resistance exercise on motor performance in women with multiple sclerosisMaterials and The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test. ۲۲ women with multiple sclerosis in age range of ۳۰ to ۶۰ years and with EDSS equal to or less than ۴ on the Cortez scale, were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Motor performance was assessed by Berg balance test and walking ۲۵ feet in pre-test and post-test. Subjects in the experimental group participated in an ۸-week course of resistance exercise and control group did not receive any intervention. Paired t-test and analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data at a significance level of ۰.۰۵.Based on the research findings, resistance training had no significant effect on walking ۲۵ feet (p=۰.۰۵۶), but were observed a positive effect in Berg balance (p=۰.۰۰۱). There was no significant change in the control group during the study period. The difference between experimental and control groups were significant in Berg balance.Based on the results of the present study, which showed that resistance training can improve motor performance, this type of training is useful for multiple sclerosis. During resistance training protocol, resistance and volume of training increases gradually to obtain full benefits of exercises. Based on the findings of this study, it seems that longer training periods are needed to achieve more efficient results in gait performance in MS patients.
