Summary:
The purpose of this dissertation is to present how functional rehabilitation of
individuals with multiple sclerosis is attained.
It explains the role of physiotherapy and occupational therapy so that the
patient can gain the greatest possible functional recovery.
In conclusion, we can say that assessment is an important part of the physical
and occupational therapy. The rehabilitation program must be individualized and
flexible to modifications depending on the degree of disability resulting from
assessment.
The role of exercise is twofold. Exercise is prevention because it increases
bone mass up until the young age aiming at the top bone density (the largest
value bone mass). Exercise is therapy in adulthood because it slows the rate of
bone loss that occurs with the advancing of age.
The benefits of exercise are many. It helps in the reduction of spasticity,
keeps muscles strong, strengthens those muscles which have atrophied, maintains
the range of motion of joints and reduces the risk of deformations and
shortenings. In addition, it improves balance, coordination and gait, improves
blood circulation and therefore the bodily functions, it helps maintaining
independence and reduces the risk of falls.
