ALL ABOUT MS  Treatment (Part 10)

Physical treatment

The most important goals of physiotherapy in MS patients are to alleviate the existing symptoms of the disease in the form of pain, fatigue, muscle spasms and urinary tract, to improve and preserve mobility at the highest possible level, and to enable daily activities, self-care , professional activity and social contacts.



In MS, the use of electrotherapy (electrostimulation, drug electrophoresis, diadynamic currents, interferent currents, transcutaneous electromechanical stimulation), magnetotherapy, laser therapy, hydrotherapy (swimming, exercise, massage), kinesitherapy (exercise), work therapy and primary aids function.

Exposure to heat can lead to deterioration of the symptoms of the disease, and it is therefore prohibited to use those physical agents that create heat in the body, e.g. high-frequency current KTD. Also, pool water in hydrotherapy should not be warmer than 29oC.
In MS patients, rehabilitation in hospital conditions in rehabilitation centers and neurology departments is recommended, as well as in home conditions, if the patient is previously trained in exercises. Arriving at the outpatient clinic causes a lot of fatigue to be avoided in this disease.


For rehabilitation, professional rehabilitation teams comprise physiotherapist, physiotherapist, speech therapist, social worker, nurse, and in cooperation with a neurologist. A physiatrist for each patient, in view of the very many disorders, makes a special rehabilitation program that suits this patient.

Family members should know that this is beyond the conscious control of the patient and that it is not a sign of moral weakness or sociopathic tendencies, but of illness. The treatment of the patient and the response to his behavior is very complex, and includes medication, psychiatric and neurological assistance with parallel psychotherapy. Family members need support in the form of advisory work, as this behavior can lead to unpleasant situations. Sometimes it is necessary to control these people in order to prevent possible outbursts. Whom to contact for help? For each of the emot...

ALL ABOUT MS What is multiple sclerosis (MS) (Part 1)

By
What is MS? Multiple sclerosis (Sclerosis multiplex, Enchephalomelitis disseminate), abbreviated MS, is an immune disease, involves axons, long nerve cell prolongations, on which some parts of the myelin coat are reacting and failing inflammation. Therefore, multiple sclerosis is considered an inflammatory, demyelinating disease caused by immunological changes of unknown aetiology. When a certain part of the myelin sheath is inflamed and damaged, the transmission of the impulse through the axon is disturbed, slowed or interrupted, resulting in messages from the brain coming to the "target" with delay, "errors" or none (absent). The disease is a very variable flow, is expressed by neurological symptoms and signs, and is characterized by frequent deterioration of varying degrees, which shifts with rapid improvement of the clinical picture (remission of the disease). The onset of multiple sclerosis is accompanied by many disorders of varying degrees, from mild st...
