Abstract
Background and aim: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that can lead to poor balance control and increased sway rate. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of suspension resistance training on the center of pressure velocity and sway range of in people with MS.
Materials and methods: Thirty-four women with MS in the age range of 20-50 years, with an extended disability scale score of less than 4, were selected and randomly divided into two groups of control (n = 15) and exercise (n = 19). Kistler force plate were used to measure COP excursion and velocity. Analysis of covariance at 95% confidence level was used to analyze the data.
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 medio-lateral 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 has no effect on 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.
