What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that damages the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, leading to problems with muscle movement, balance and vision.

Multiple Sclerosis History

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder which affects the brain and spinal cord. Records indicate that the condition has affected humans for hundreds of years.

Multiple Sclerosis Research

A wide range of clinical trials have been conducted with the aim of improving our understanding of MS and developing a cure.

At-Home Physiotherapy Exercises for Multiple Sclerosis

Exercise and physiotherapy can play a positive role in rehabilitation and improving the quality of life of patients with MS.

PThere is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Treatment aims at delaying disease progression and preventing symptom relapse.

Body Cooling For Wheelchair Comfort

People with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) are unable to sweat because their body can no longer communicate with their brain. Corien Staels discusses a wheelchair which negates this problem, as it contains a cooling backrest.

Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can be difficult to diagnose when a person has had just one “attack” of what appears to be MS symptoms. Other conditions share MS symptoms and a physician will need to rule those out first.

Multiple Sclerosis and Women’s Health

Women with MS face several gender-specific complications as the condition affects hormones, menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.

Multiple Sclerosis in Children

According to the latest estimates, around 9000 children in the United States have MS, and some studies report that 2-5% of MS patients start experiencing symptoms before age 18.
