Abstract
Multiple sclerosis is the most widespread inflammatory disease. One of the main problems of individuals afflicted with MS is postural control. According to the significant needs for postural control, the present study aims to examine the effect of a course of balancing and combinational exercises on postural fluctuations of women with MS. In this study, 30 women, aged 25-45, who were members of MS Society of Khorasan Razavi and had a physical disability score of (1-4), were randomly assigned to three equal groups (two experimental groups and a control group). Experimental groups did center balancing exercises for eight weeks, three sessions each week. Combinational exercises group also did a cognitive task during the center balancing exercises. Fluctuations in patients’ posture were measured by standing on a power platform pre and post balancing exercises and the average fluctuation of the center of pressure was measured. Leaven and Covariate Analysis were used for comparison of means. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the average fluctuations of two groups in anterior-posterior and medial-lateral. The results of Tukey test showed that there is a significant difference between the average fluctuations of experimental groups in anterior-posterior and medial-lateral (P<0.05). The results showed that generally the center balancing and combinational cognitive exercises lead to a decrease in postural fluctuations of women with MS.
