Rehabilitation improves mitochondrial energetics in progressive multiple sclerosis: The significant role of robot-assisted gait training and of the personalized intensity

Abnormal levels of pyruvate and lactate were reported in multiple sclerosis (MS). We studied the response of markers of mitochondrial function to rehabilitation in relation to type, intensity and endurance performance in severely disabled MS …

Effects of brief aquatic exercise in multiple sclerosis on mobility and function

Background: Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disorder that impacts mobility and function. The benefits of exercise on multiple sclerosis symptoms have been demonstrated. Exercise is proven to increase cerebral blood flow, and improve oxygen …

Muscle oxygen consumption by NIRS and mobility in multiple sclerosis patients

Background: The study of muscle metabolism by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been poorly implemented in multiple sclerosis (MS). Aims of the study were to compare resting muscle oxygen consumption (rmVO2) at gastrocnemius in MS patients and in …
