Physical Activity and Irreversible Disability in Multiple Sclerosis

MOTL, R. W. Physical activity and irreversible disability in multiple sclerosis. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 38, No. 4, pp. 186-191, 2010. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that may result in the progressive worsening of disability. Recent research has identified physical activity as a behavioral correlate of disability in MS. The current review highlights that previous research has generally included samples with minimal disability and provides a rationale for considering physical activity as an influence of disability in the second stage of MS.
