Multiple sclerosis is a progressive chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is considered to be an autoimmune-mediated disease of the central nervous system, which causes chronic inflammation, primary demyelination of nerves, and axonal damage. Rehabilitation programs aim to progress function, well-being, and quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis. Therapeutic exercises involve movements prescribed to correct impairments such as muscle weakness, spasms, spasticity, and imbalance, restore musculoskeletal impairments, and maintain a well-being state.
