ABSTRACT

Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of central nervous system that affects motor pathways and increase fatigue and decrease quality of life. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of combined (resistance and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) training for 8 weeks on fatigue and quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients.
Materials & Methods This semi-experimental study was done in 2013. Samples were 37 women and men patients with multiple sclerosis which were divided to experimental (n=19) and control (n=18) groups. The experimental group participated in combined training program for 8 weeks. Fatigue and quality of life were evaluated before and after training protocol. Data were analyzed using independent and dependent T tests and MANOVA test with LSD post hoc.
Findings 8 weeks of combined training decreased the fatigue and increased the quality of life and its subscales (physical health composite, mental health composite) significantly (p=0.001).
Conclusion Combined training causes decreasing of fatigue and increasing of quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients.
