상세 설명
Background: Multiple sclerosis affects the central integration of sensory afferents that causes disturbance of balance, postural control and gait. Exercise interventions performed through VR applications encourage participants to engage in challenging tasks that integrate motor and cognitive demands, enhance patients' sensory processing and integration systems and allows them to receive information feedback and improve the motivation of training. Mental Practice is a complex cognitive operation that is possible thanks to the use of sensory and perceptive processes that allow an individual to reactivate specific motor actions in the working memory.
Purpose: This study is conducted to Investigate the effect of virtual reality based training on balance and risk of falling, Investigate the effect of virtual reality based training on gait, Investigate the effect of mental practice on balance and risk of falling, Investigate the effect of mental practice on gait and to compare between the effect of virtual reality based training and mental practice on balance and gait.
Methods: Fifty four patients of both sexes with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS). The patients will be diagnosed as having RRMS based on careful clinical examination by neurologist and diagnosis will be confirmed by radiological investigations as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy, Pharos University in Alexandria and private clinics. Patients in this study will be randomly divided into three groups.
- Group (I) which will include 18 patients who will receive mental practice in addition to selected physical therapy .
- Group (II) which will include 18 patients who will receive virtual reality based training in addition to selected physical therapy.
- Group (III) which will include 18 patients who will receive selected physical therapy.
The treatment will be conducted 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks for 45 minutes.
Results: Data analysis with 2-way mixed Design MANOVA will be used to compare the groups for normally distributed data and Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests will be used to compare the groups for non-parametric and not normally distributed data.

spatial, temporal and angular parameters as cadence, step length and range of motion of hip, knee and ankle will be measured using software analysis "Kinovea" Kinovea is a free, open-source 2D video analysis software. It does not generate a single composite "score". Instead, it measures quantitative biomechanical and kinematic metrics from recorded video. |

"10 minutes walk test" will be performed pre and post treatment by asking the patient to walk through a 12 meter walkway and calculate the time for 10 meters in tha walkway in two walking speeds( normal - fast) for 2 or 3 trials of each speed Speed > 1.2 m/s: Normal / Community AmbulatorAble to safely cross street intersections and navigate crowded environments. 0.8 - 1.2 m/s: Limited Community Ambulator/ Able to walk outdoors independently 0.4 - 0.8 m/s: Household Ambulator/ Mostly restricted to indoor walking; requires assistance or equipment outdoors. < 0.4 m/s: Severe Functional Limitation |

static and dynamic balance will be assessed using "Berg Balance Scale" The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a 14-item clinical assessment scale designed to measure static balance and dynamic functional mobility, Point Scale: Each of the 14 tasks is rated on a 0 to 4 ordinal scale based on safety, independence, time held, or distance reached, Scores are summed across all items for a overall score ranging from 0 to 56 points (higher scores reflect better balance and mobility). |
