Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It causes vision problems, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness, and other problems⁽¹⁾.

Multiple sclerosis is typically treated with disease-modifying drugs, this approach substantially controls inflammatory activity, but not neurodegenerative processes, and does not cure the disease, so people with multiple sclerosis often experience residual symptoms and dysfunction⁽²⁾.

Exercise training has increasingly been recommended for patients with multiple sclerosis to manage symptoms⁽³⁾. Robot-assisted gait training is feasible and may be an effective therapeutic option in MS patients with severe walking disabilities⁽⁴⁾. Virtual reality systems may strengthen the effect of robot-assisted gait training⁽⁵⁾. In addition, aquatic therapy can improve the gait speed in patients with multiple sclerosis⁽⁶⁾.

Pulmonary rehabilitation should be a part of the rehabilitation program for patients with MS to improve the activity of daily living⁽⁷⁾. After the assessment of your doctor, you will be prepared for a rehabilitation program that composes of different treatment modalities especially determined for you. During the treatment process, it may be modified your treatment program in accordance with your functional development.
