Summary

Physical exercise can prevent falls, certain types of exercise may be more effective. Perturbation-based balance training is a novel intervention involving repeated postural perturbations aiming to improve control of rapid balance reactions. The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect of perturbation- based balance training on falls and balance in daily life.Thirty patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) will assess with regard to dynamic balance, walking and falling. Patients randomly will allocate to a personalized (PRG) or traditional (TRG) rehabilitation group.
