Do MBTs help people who have multiple sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. In Europe and North America it is the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults with an age of on set between 20-40 years. It has a prevalence of 1 in 800 people. In 90% of affected individuals the disease process is relapsing and remitting in nature. Randomized clinical trails have demonstrated that outpatient rehabilitation reduced MS symptom frequency and fatigue. Clinical studies have failed to demonstrate the benefits of exercise on disease progression. MBT may therefore, be worn in individuals who have MS as part of their normal rehabilitation program. The MBT will aid proprioception and muscle function.
