Pelvic Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Exercises in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, demyelinating disease that progresses with motor and sensory loss of the central nervous system and causes disability at different levels. Although signs and symptoms vary depending on the location of the lesion, findings such as loss of muscle strength, spasticity, sensory disorders and fatigue cause decreases in walking function in the majority of patients. Loss of muscle strength and fatigue cause loss of mobility, causing individuals with MS to be less physically active than healthy adults in the same age group. As a result, approximately 40% of individuals with MS have walking problems and approximately 70% of them experience a decrease in daily living activities. Literature studies frequently include strengthening exercises for lower extremity muscles in MS patients. However, the results of pelvic pattern exercises, which are the key to lower extremity movements, are not specified. In this study, which is planned in the light of this information, the findings obtained from pelvic PNF exercises will serve to fill this gap in the literature.
