The role of MR volumetry in brain atrophy assessment
in multiple sclerosis: A review of the literature

Multiple sclerosis (MS) — autoimmune disease of CNS, characterized by myelin destruction and axonal damage. To study cognitive functions, the authors used the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the frontal assessment battery, the procedure developed by A.R. Luriya, neurophysiological characteristics. 71 patients were underwent magnetic resonance imaging. The aim of the study was to analyse the parameters of neuropsychological method, cognitive evoked potentials P300 and the role of brain atrophy in MS. The cognitive functions, the activity of the disease and the expression of brain atrophy are bound by the certain way.

Exercise Guidelines

Compared with other neurologic disorders, relatively little literature exists to define or support the role of exercise in MS. This review describes issues relating to exercise in patients with MS, discusses relevant literature, offers exercise guidelines for persons with MS, and suggests topics for future research. Unique aspects of MS that affect physical therapy are addressed, including disease progression, fatigue, and thermosensitivity. Review of the literature includes discussion of strength training, aerobic exercise, and respiratory training. While physical activity was once contraindicated in persons with MS, current literature supports its therapeutic benefits in these patients. More research could be focused on the specific types of exercise appropriate for this patient population.

Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Abstract The question of the role of physical activity in preventing disability in neurological diseases is the issue which is not in doubt. There is well known that physical activity in Parkinson`s disease and in Multiple Sclerosis patients is less than is the case in the general population. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the low physical activity of people with PD and MS. Improving physical activity delays the progress of physical disability and has the effect on increasing the quality of life in those two diseases. In this paper an descriptive review of the literature devoted to the effect of physical activity on risk of PD and its impact on disability progression in PD and MS has been presented. The different recommendations for physical activity and different methods of assessment have been described.
