About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system which produces both motor and cognitive dysfunctions. MS causes a decline in the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) due to impairments affecting limb function. Aim: This pilot study sought to determine whether the use of mental practice (MP) or the combined use of MP and the training of manipulative skills would improve the manipulation motor skills and treatment satisfaction among people with MS. Methods: The study participants were people with MS. Blinded evaluators performed three assessments for each patient (pre-treatment, post-treatment and at a three month follow up). The patients were divided into three groups with alternate allocation: (A) Mental practice, (B) Mental practice + skills training and (C) Control group. Keywords: activities of daily living; manual dexterity; mental practice, motor image; multiple sclerosis.
