Abstract

Aim: To determine whether walking performance differed between people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who performed distinct types, volumes and intensities of exercise. Materials & methods: Forty-five people with relapsing-remitting MS performed two trials of the 2-min walk test, one at a preferred speed and another at a fast speed. Gait metrics were measured by wireless inertial sensors. Participants reported the type (aerobic, resistance), volume and intensity of exercise performed. Results: Walking speed reserve and gait variability were better in participants who performed combined aerobic and resistance exercises compared with those who performed aerobic-only exercise. Conclusion: Walking performance differs in people with mild MS disability based on the type and volume of exercise performed.
