Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, 34, p. 119-127 | Abstract: | Background:Task-oriented training promotes functional recovery in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Know-how to de-termine an individualized training intensity and intensity-dependent effects are, however, unknown. The ob-jective of the study was to investigate the feasibility and the clinical effects of a task-oriented upper limb trainingprogram at different individualized training intensities with conventional occupational therapy.Methods:People with MS (n= 20, EDSS range 4–8) were divided into three groups, receiving task-orientedtraining at 100% (n= 7) or 50% (n= 8) of their individual maximal number of repetitions, or conventionaloccupational therapy (n= 5). Effects were evaluated using different upper limb capacity and perceived per-formance measures on activity level, and measures on body functions and structures level.Results:Mixed model analyses revealed significant improvements (p< 0.05) over time on the Box and block test(BBT), Action Research Arm Test and the Manual Ability Measure-36. Significant interaction effects (group*-time) in favor of the task-oriented group training at the highest intensity were found for BBT and static fatigueindex during a maximal sustained handgrip strength test.Conclusion:All participants were able to perform the task-oriented training at their individualized intensitywithout any adverse effects. Several improvements over time were found for all intervention groups, howeverthe results suggest a superiority of task-oriented training at 100%.Clinical trial registration number on clinicaltrials.gov:=NCT02688231 | Notes: | Lamers, I (reprint author), Hasselt Univ, Fac Rehabil Sci, REVAL Rehabil Res Ctr, BIOMED Biomed Res Inst, Martelarenlaan 42, B-3500 Hasselt, Belgium ilse.lamers@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | Multiple Sclerosis; Upper extremity; Rehabilitation; Task-oriented; Technology-supported; Intensity | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/28926 | Link to publication/dataset: | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31255988 | ISSN: | 2211-0348 | e-ISSN: | 2211-0356 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.msard.2019.06.014 | ISI #: | 000486628300021 | Rights: | 2019 Elsevier B.V.
