Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis
Interventions: Neuroproprioceptive "facilitation and inhibition" in virtual reality, Neuroproprioceptive "facilitation and inhibition"
Countries: Czechia
The randomized controlled trial is aimed to study the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) and its impact on upper limb function and postural stability in people with mild to severe multiple sclerosis (pwMS). The conceptual idea is to compare two kinds of neuroproprioceptive "facilitation and inhibition" physical therapy, first in a real environment and second in virtual reality, in out-patient therapy that will be held in 15 hourly therapies, 2x a week in a period of two months. The efficacy will be assessed by a blinded independent clinical examiner using clinical examination and questionnaire survey before and in a week following the therapeutic intervention. The main focus is on upper limb gross and fine motor skills, trunk stability and stability, and sit to stand stability.
