Background: Multiple sclerosis commonly develops between 20 to 40 years of age, however also seen in older populations. It is more common in females than in males. Fatigue, impaired coordination, pain ,blurred vision, weakness in limbs are often the complaints.
Objective: A case study is to provide evidence of the feasibility, acceptance and benefits of Cawthorne Cooksey exercise and strength training in gait and balance related impairments of a multiple sclerosis patient.
Method: 58 years old multiple sclerosis patient was provided an individualised therapy for 3 weeks. Outcome measures included Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (Tinetti POMA) and Timed Up and Go (TUG).
Result: Findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the cawthorne cooksey exercise and strength training for use by multiple sclerosis patient with gait and balance impairments.
Conclusion: The Tinetti POMA Scale and TUG test scores suggested improved gait and balance. However the results were not clinically significant.
