Abstract
Background and Aim: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that can lead to poor balance control and increased sway rate. This study aimed to determine the effect of suspension resistance training on the center of pressure (COP) velocity and sway range of in people with MS.
Methods: Twenty-seven women with MS in the 20-50 age range, with an extended disability scale score of less than 4, were selected and randomly divided into control (n = 11) and exercise (n = 16) groups. Kistler force plates were used to measure COP excursion and velocity. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance at a 95% confidence level.
Results: The results showed that in the closed-eyed conditions, suspension resistance training leads to a significant decrease in the sum path length (P = 0.039) and COP velocity (P = 0.038) in the anterior-posterior plane and COP excursion (P = 0.043) in the mediolateral plane was observed in the exercise group compared to the control group. In the open-eyed conditions, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: In open-eyed conditions, suspension resistance training does not affect reducing COP sway rate, and velocity in people with MS. Therefore, suspension resistance training does not have the necessary components to sway rate in people with MS.
