Response of Postural Control to Balance Training Program in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

The purpose of the study was to evaluate response of postural control and balance in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. Thirty subjects, of both sexes, their age ranged from 30 to 40 years shared in this study and were assumed into two equal groups, the first group (GI) included normal subjects and the second group (GII) included patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. Assessment was done by Biodex balance system via the dynamic balance test which including anteroposterior, mediolatoral and overall stability index, this study was carried out at the physical therapy department of Benha teaching hospital. Group II was trained for two months. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the balance parameters in the second group post treatment than pre treatment (P > 0.05), this indicates that there was no improvement in balance in GII after receiving the balance training program. It could be concluded that performing balance training program did not improve balance in subjects suffering from
