Objectives: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and disabling disease of the nervous system.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of isometric exercises on balance and ability
in the patients with MS.
Methods: Sixty MS patients participated in this randomized controlled trial study and patients
were randomly assigned into treatment and control groups. Treatment group participated in
an isometric exercise program for 8 weeks and the control group followed routine treatment
program. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used
to measure disability and balance status, respectively, on days 1, 28, and 56 post treatment.
Results: No significant difference was observed in the mean scores of EDSS and BSS between
the control and treatment groups on day 1 post treatment. Mean scores of EDSS and BSS
significantly decreased and increased, respectively, in the treatment group compared with the
control group on day 56 post treatment (P<0.01). Repeated measures test in the treatment
group showed there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of EDSS
and BSS on day 1 compared with that on days 28 and 56 post treatment (P<0.001), while in
control group there was no significant difference between the mean scores of EDSS and BSS.
Discussion: Isometric exercise programs improved balance and reduced the severe disability
in MS patients and recommended as a complementary treatment program for MS patients
