Summary

Low bone density is a health risk in older adults and especially people with multiple sclerosis (MS) due to steroid treatments and less mobility. Bone density is a measurement of how dense or strong bones are. Weight-based training may be one method in strengthening bones and providing a beneficial treatment for MS patient rehabilitation. Weight based training involves performing exercises without the use of actual weights, and instead with one's own bodyweight. This study aims to look at the effects of weight-based training on bone density, cognition (ability to learn and understand), and other quality of life issues (i.e. depression) in MS patients.
