ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives:  Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease of brain, optic nerve and spinal cord mediated by immune system.  In India, MS prevalence has increased from1.33/10, 0000 to 8.35/100,000. People are most diagnosed at age 20-50 years with an average age of 30. People with MS frequently reports balance and walking impairments.

Therefore it is necessary to improve balance in MS .In recent advance it is shown that exergaming  and CoDuSe  exercise have  positive roll to improve balance in patient with Multiple sclerosis. Thus aim of this study is to compare the effect of CoDuSe exercise and Exergaming program, on Balance performance & balance confidence, in People with multiple sclerosis.

Methods: A comparitive study was done on 30 Multiple Sclerosis patients, selected by purposive sampling technique and  those meeting  inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups, Group A and Group B. Baseline balance  assessment was taken in both the groups  by Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Group A (n= 15) underwent CoDuSe exercise &Group B (n=15) underwent  Exergaming protocols respectively for 6 weeks. Post intervention balance assessment was obtained at the end of 6weeks using BBS. Results  thus obtained were statistically analysed using SPSS 16.0, MS Word and MS Excel.

Results: Group A who were given CoDuSe intervention improved much better than Group B who   were given Exergaming .The unpaired t-test was performed between the two groups which showed moderately statistical significance with p-value <0.001.

Conclusion: In conclusion, CoDuSe is more effective than Exergaming exercise to improve balance in people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Key words: Multiple Sclerosis,Balance imapairment ,CoDuSe, Exergaming.
