Study Summary
Over half of persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) report falling over a 6-month period and a majority of those who fall require medical attention for injuries. Importantly, balance dysfunction, muscle weakness, and spasticity are modifiable risk factors for falls among community-dwelling older adults and likely persons with MS. Indeed, there is evidence that these physiological risk factors can be minimized with exercise training in persons with MS and this might translate into a decrease in fall risk as documented in community-dwelling older adults. The investigation will examine the effectiveness of a home-based exercise program that is designed to reduce fall risk by targeting specific fall risk factors including balance dysfunction and two of its latent causes, muscle weakness and spasticity in persons with multiple sclerosis. It is predicted that persons who receive home-based exercise program will have a reduction in fall risk.
