"While the disease course cannot be cured by rehabilitation, a growing body of evidence indicates that improvement in mobility, activities of daily living (ADL), quality of life, prevention of complications, reduction in health care utilization, and gains in safety and independence, may be realized by a carefully planned program of exercise, functional training, and activities that address the specific needs of the individual. Thus, rehabilitation is considered a necessary component of comprehensive, quality health care for people living with MS, at all stages of the disease.” ( Quote from the MS Foundation).
This program will provide an overview of MS, its diagnosis, prevalence, and medical management. It will then continue to provide a synopsis of evidence based physical therapy management of MS, and discuss different technologies that help with improving efficacy of treatment and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Sakina Valika PT, DPT, NCS, MSCS shares her insight and expertise on "Consolidating Modern Research Findings and Technologies Into Physical Therapy Interventions for Multiple Sclerosis. "
What to expect:
Objectives:
By the end of this lecture participants will be able to:
- Provide an introduction to MS, it’s diagnosis, and it’s prevalence.
