Summary

In total, 27 patients with MS (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score equal to or less than 5.5) were randomly assigned to either Telko plus conventional physical therapy (CPT) experimental group (n=14) or the CPT control group (n=13). All patients received 15-minute CPT, three times a week, for four weeks. The patients in the experimental group received 15-minute Telko at the end of each CPT session. The outcome measures used were the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and Timed Up and Go (TUG) assessment.

Telko plus conventional physical therapy (CPT)

All patients underwent about 15-minute CPT sessions 3 days a week for 4 weeks. The CPT intervention program consisted of closed kinetic chain exercises (squatting, hip bridge, lunge, and toe standing), 3 sets, 10 repetitions each and gait training (walking forward, backward, sidewalk, and between obstacles). Short breaks (1-5 minutes) were provided, depending on the patient tolerance. Before treatment, the skilled physical therapist was instructed about the duration, frequency, and content of therapy. The patients in the experimental group received additional lower extremities closed kinetic chain training using the Telko device. The participants train on Telko for 15 minutes using moderate resistance, 3 days a week for 4 weeks.
