Optimizing Mobility & Energy with Multiple Sclerosis Rehab
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath covering nerve fibers, causing communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. MS symptoms are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate. They commonly include muscle weakness, spasticity, severe fatigue, balance and gait disturbances, and tingling or numbness in the limbs.
Physiotherapy is an essential component of managing MS throughout all stages of the condition. It helps maintain strength, manage spasticity, and improve energy conservation.
Our Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation Approach
Neuromotion's neuro-physiotherapists design custom exercise programs that are sensitive to the unique fatigue and temperature-sensitivity profiles of MS patients.
- Robotic Gait Training & Exoskeleton: Provides body-weight support to allow intensive gait practice, helping patients maintain walking capabilities even during flare-ups or advanced stages.
- Strengthening & Conditioning: Low-impact resistance training to build muscle strength and combat fatigue without overheating the body.
- Spasticity Management: Dedicated stretching routines, manual therapy, and positioning advice to reduce muscle stiffness and pain.
- Balance and Core Stabilization: Enhancing the stabilizer muscles of the trunk and pelvis to improve safety and walking confidence.
- Energy Conservation Counseling: Teaching patients how to budget their energy for daily tasks to avoid extreme exhaustion.
