Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, inflammatory, and autoimmune disease that affects the entire central nervous system. Its beginning is unpredictable. However it is known that there are genetic and environmental factors that trigger the onset of the disease. MS is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases in the world, reaching about 2.5 million people around the world. The signs and symptoms of MS diversify from person to person, as they are dependent on where demyelination of the neurons' axons occurred. However, the main symptoms of MS are lack of coordination, loss of sensitivity, double vision, imbalance, gait problems, loss of postural control and fatigue. These two last symptoms are among the factors that most affect people with MS and decrease the quality of life of this population. However, knowledge about the effect of muscle fatigue on the postural control of people with MS is poor. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of muscle fatigue in people with MS and to compare them with neurologically healthy individuals. Twenty-two participants, 12 participants with relapsing-remitting MS and 10 neurologically healthy participants, who underwent 6 attempts before and after muscle fatigue induction, were recruited, with 3 trials in each condition: fixation at one point and saccadic eye movement. Strength was measured before and after muscle fatigue. Statistical analysis was performed through MANOVA's with factor for group (MS x control), condition (fixation x saccadic) and muscle fatigue (before and after fatigue) with repeated measures for the last two factors. To analysis of strength data, ANOVA with group factor and muscle fatigue... (Complete abstract electronic access below)
