Gait Analysis in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

The vestibular exercise program basically consists of 3 groups of exercises: adaptation, substitution, and habituation exercises. It is aimed to provide vestibular adaptation with adaptation exercises. Exercises that include visual and somatosensory cues to improve gaze and postural stability constitute substitution exercises. Balance exercises can be performed with eyes open and closed, or somatosensory cues can be changed by performing them on soft ground. Removing or reducing clues allows the patient to use other systems as well. The basis of habituation exercises is the reduction of the pathological response as a result of repeated exposure to the provocative stimulus. Habituation is specific to the type, intensity, and direction of stimuli. In most cases, the movement that stimulates the pathological response is less frequently performed during daily activities and promotes compensation for the initially abnormal signal of treatment.

A neurorehabilitation program based on stretching, strengthening, posture, mobilization, static and dynamic balance exercises (standing on one leg, tandem, balance board, etc.) will be applied.
