Experimental: Balance training
The balance training is performed three times per week over a period of three weeks with sessions lasting 45-60 minutes.
The intervention is designed to meet the individual needs of pwMS and allows for challenging tasks, while guaranteeing safety by a harnass.
During the first training session the appropriate exercise levels that target the adequate intensity are determined (baseline value).
Moderate to high-intensive BT in this study is defined as a score of 7-9 points on the rate of perceived stability (RPS) scale and to fulfill the moderate to high-intensive characteristics on the therapists' scale.
The intensity of each exercise (level of challenge during the exercise) is monitored and documented for both the therapists and pwMS.
According to this feedback, progression is performed by systematically by in- or decreasing difficulty of the exercises.

Comparador Ativo: Sporttherapy
The control group performs a standardized group training session (usual care, UC) that consists of strength, endurance, coordination, balance and mobility exercises.
This training is part of standard care at the Rehabilitation Clinic Valens and is therefore not personalized for each participant.
The training is performed three times per week over a period of three weeks with sessions lasting 45-60 minutes.

Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Balance capacity
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
Balance capacity measured by the Mini Balance Evaluation system Test (Mini-Best).
Measured with a score from 0-28, a higher score indicates a better balance capacity.
|
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
|
Cognitive processing speed
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
Cognitive processing speed is measured with the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT).
Participants receive a sheet with a key of nine numbers (1-9) and symbols shown in pairs.
In boxes below only the symbols are shown, and the participants must report the correct corresponding number.
The number of correct answers made within 90 seconds is assessed.
The oral form of the SDMT is used due to its non-sensitivity to motor disabilities of the upper extremities.
Higher scores indicate higher cognitive processing speed.

From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.

Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Mobility
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
Mobility measured by the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG).
Measurement in seconds, a lower time indicates a better functional mobility.
|
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
|
Complex walking ability
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
Complex walking ability measured by the Six Spot Step Test (SSST).
Measurement in seconds for all trials and for the trials with the dominant and non-dominant leg, a lower time indicates a better complex walking ability.
|
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
|
Fatigue
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
Fatigue measured with the Fatigue Scale for Motor and Cognitive Function (FSMC) Questionnaire.
A total score [20-100] and a motor and cognitive subscores [each 10-50] are calculated, a higher score indicates a higher fatigue.
|
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
|
Walking endurance
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
Walking endurance measured with the 6 Minute Walking Test.
Within this test the total distance [m], the 2 minute distance [m], and the steps [Number] and time [s] needed for 10 meters are measured.
|
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.
|
|
Fear of falling
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks
|
Fear of falling is measured with the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I).
Participants must answer 16 different questions regarding their fear of falling during activities of daily life.
For each item the level of fear is assessed on a 4-point scale (from 1="not at all" to 4="very").
Scores range from 16-64, with higher scores indicating a higher fair of falling during daily activities.
|
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks
|
|
Health related quality of life
Prazo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks
|
Health related quality of life is measured with the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-10 (PROMIS-10).
They score each item on a 5-point scale and rate their pain from 0 to 10.
The score is summarized to a mental and a physical health score, each from 0-20.
With low scores indicating poor perceived health related quality of life.
