No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether, in patients with multiple sclerosis presenting with marked asymmetry of strength, training the less-affected limb with a Cross-Training approach may induce a meaningful transfer of strength with neurophysiological, functional and clinical correlates, to the contralateral, more-impaired limb.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Cross-Training healthy subjects

The phase of intervention will consist of a 6-week cross-training of the stronger limb employing an isokinetic contraction regimen at maximal intensity.

OTHER

Cross-Training multiple sclerosis

The phase of intervention will consist of a 6-week cross-training of the less-impaired limb employing an isokinetic contraction regimen at maximal intensity.

OTHER

Standard-training multiple sclerosis

The phase of intervention will consist of a 6-week standard strength training of the more-impaired limb employing an isokinetic contraction regimen performed at maximal intensity.
