Comparison of Vigorous Versus Low Intensity Cool Room Treadmill Training in People with Multiple Sclerosis

WithdrawnNA

Sponsor: Memorial University of Newfoundland

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis, Neurological Rehabilitation, Exercise, Neuronal Plasticity, Cooling

Interventions: Body-weight supported treadmill training in a room cooled to 16°C

Countries: Canada

New research in animal models of MS suggests that greater training intensity is required to restore lost functions. We have developed and tested vigorous intensity cool room treadmill training that people with MS who have fatigue and heat-sensitivity can tolerate. This study will focus on the appropriate dosage of training.
