Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting
Interventions
Other: CoDuSe balance training and step square exercises
Other: conventional balance training
Registration Number
NCT04528121
Lead Sponsor
Lama Saad El-Din Mahmoud
Brief Summary

To investigate the effect of CoDuSe balance training and step square exercises on the risk of falls in multiple sclerosis. BACKGROUND: risk of fall \& balance disabilities are considered serious problems in multiple sclerosis which results in loss of balance \& physical inactivity.

.........HYPOTHESES:

This study hypothesized that:

CoDuSe balance training and step square exercises will have a significant effect on the risk of falling in multiple sclerosis

RESEARCH QUESTION:

Is there an effect of CoDuSe balance training and step square exercises on risk of fall in multiple sclerosis?

Detailed Description

Fifty-two patients with multiple sclerosis will participate in this study.

The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the conventional selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to CoDuSe balance training and step square exercises, three times per week for four weeks.

The Evaluation will done pre and post interventions included:

Biodex balance system (Risk falling), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) \& Morse Fall Scale.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Biodex balance system4 weeks

fast, accurate Fall Risk Screening and Conditioning Programme

Morse Fall Scale4 weeks

The Morse Fall Scale (MFS) is a rapid and simple method of assessing a patient's likelihood of falling A patient who scores under 25 points is considered to be at low risk of falling, a patient who scores between 25-45 points is considered to be at moderate risk of falling, and a patient who scores higher than 45 points is considered to be at high risk of falling.

Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)4 weeks

The short physical performance battery (SPPB) is a group of measures that combines the results of the gait speed, chair stand and balance tests . It has been used as a predictive tool for possible disability and can aid in the monitoring of function in older people.

The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)test is designed to measure functional status and physical performance.
