Abstract:
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disorder characterized by damage to the Central Nervous System (CNS). Impaired balance control has been reported to be one of the most disturbing symptoms and complications in this disease and is directly associated with an increased risk of falls in MS patients. Rehabilitation programs are considered as primary strategies for this disease. The first step to effective use of an effective rehabilitation program is to perform retrospective review articles and evaluate the impact of different programs on the balance of these patients.
Target: Evaluation of the effect of different exercise programs on people with multiple sclerosis .
Methodology: A systematic review of studies designed to evaluate the effect of exercise interventions on improving balance in people with multiple sclerosis was performed. Databases searches PubMed, Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Also databases search was done in the period from 2010 to 2020 in, University Jihad Scientific Information Center (MedLib) database, Iran Science and Technology Research Institute (Iran Doc) with a combination of keywords of multiple sclerosis, balance and training program. Due to the insufficient number of studies on a specific disability scale (EDSS), the selection of studies was based on different EDSS.
Results: Out of 326 articles identified after complete study, 65 articles met the criteria for the final study. Studies have shown that most exercise programs have a positive effect on the balance of people with multiple sclerosis; But among the articles related to video game-based rehabilitation exercises and home yoga exercises to improve the balance of inconsistency was observed, also comparing two Pilates training protocols with and without music and comparing two water resistance protocols and Drought did not show much difference in improving their balance and the results of some studies showed that combined and group training programs have a better effect on the balance of people with MS than other training programs.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the existing rehabilitation protocols have a positive effect on the balance of people with MS. However, more detailed studies on home-based yoga and video game-based rehabilitation are needed due to the inconsistencies.
