Can resistance training impact MRI outcomes in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis?

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterised by accelerated brain atrophy, which relates to disease progression. Previous research shows that progressive resistance training (PRT) can counteract brain atrophy in other populations. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of PRT by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical measures of disease progression in people with MS. METHODS: This study… Read more »

Numeracy of multiple sclerosis patients: A comparison of patients from the PERCEPT study to a German probabilistic sample.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

OBJECTIVE: A shared decision-making approach is suggested for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. To properly evaluate benefits and risks of different treatment options accordingly, MS patients require sufficient numeracy – the ability to understand quantitative information. It is unknown whether MS affects numeracy. Therefore, we investigated whether patients‘ numeracy was impaired compared to a probabilistic national… Read more »
