Detaljerad beskrivning
Patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis will be recruited from outpatient neurology and physical therapy clinics. Following clinical screening, eligible participants will be randomly assigned into two parallel groups:
The Study Group: Will receive High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Therapy sessions targeted at the core/trunk muscles plus a structured balance exercise program for 8 weeks.
The Control Group: Will receive the structured balance exercise program only for 8 weeks.

Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Aktiv komparator: Experimental group
Patients with multiple sclerosis who will receive High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Therapy targeted at the abdominal and paraspinal core musculature, combined with a specialized balance training program for 8 weeks
|
For 8 weeks, two weekly sessions of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Therapy will be used to induce supramaximal contractions to strengthen the central core stabilizers (rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis, and erector spinae)
Standardized balance training including static stance variations, dynamic weight-shifting, perturbation training, and functional gait adjustments will be conducted for 30-45 minutes per session through three weekly sessions for a total duration of 8 weeks.
|
|
Aktiv komparator: Control group
Patients with multiple sclerosis who will receive the standardized balance training program alone for 8 weeks.
|
Standardized balance training including static stance variations, dynamic weight-shifting, perturbation training, and functional gait adjustments will be conducted for 30-45 minutes per session through three weekly sessions for a total duration of 8 weeks.

Balance
Tidsram: Baseline and after 8 weeks
|
Berg Balance Scale will be used to assess balance.
A 14-item objective clinical rating scale evaluating functional balance performance (e.g., reaching, turning, standing on one leg).
Scores range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate better balance control.

Health-Related Quality of Life
Tidsram: Baseline and after 8 weeks
|
Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 Questionnaire will be used to assess quality of life.
It is a multidimensional, disease-specific questionnaire combining generic and disease-specific items.
It generates 12 subscales along with distinct physical and mental health composite summary scores.
Higher scores indicate a better quality of life.
|
Baseline and after 8 weeks
|
|
Risk of Fall
Tidsram: Baseline and after 8 weeks
|
The Fall Risk Questionnaire will be used to assess the risk of fall.
The Fall Risk Questionnaire consists of 12 yes/no questions.
For scoring, a "no" answer is scored as zero for all questions, while a "yes" answer is scored as two for the first two questions and as one for the remaining 10 questions.
A total Fall Risk Questionnaire score of 4 or higher indicates increased fall risk.
|
Baseline and after 8 weeks
|
|
Core Muscle Function
Tidsram: Baseline and after 8 weeks
|
The Trunk Impairment Scale will be used to assess core muscle function.
It scores static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and trunk coordination.
Total scores range from 0 to 23, with higher scores indicating superior core control.
