Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efectiveness of training judo as a part of a physiotheraphy programme in MS patients Materials and methodology: 4 female RR-MS patients, aged between 32 and 49, have taken part in a 8-week programme. Their condition was evaluated twice – before and after the therapy. Two surveys have been carried out: one prepared by the authors of the study and Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29). In order to evaluate the functional state the following methods have been used: Functional Reach Test, 10 m TW (Time Walking) test and the Lovett test (for the following muscles: rectus femoris, biceps femoris, rectus abdominis, deltoideus). Results: After the therapy the most persisting ailments decresed considerably. The functional tests showed better results and the patients had a better phycological disposition. Conclusions: Judo training improved both functional and psychogical condition of the patients in the rehabilitation group. The programme proved to be an alternative form of physiotherapy for MS patients.
