Effects of functional electrical stimulation on gait function and quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis taking dalfampridine.
Author: AgrellaStephanie, FoxEdward J, MayerLori, RogersHelen L, WarringTina
Original Abstract of the Article :
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can adversely affect gait, causing gait slowing, loss of balance, decreased functional mobility, and gait deficits, such as footdrop. Current treatments for gait dysfunction due to MS are pharmacologic, using dalfampridine, or orthotic, using an ankle-foot orthosis. Functiona...See full text at original site

FES: A New Oasis in the Desert of Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can significantly impact gait, making walking a challenging journey through a desert of physical limitations. This study explores the potential of functional electrical stimulation (FES) as an alternative treatment for gait dysfunction in MS patients who are already taking dalfampridine. It's like discovering a new pathway through the desert, one that can help patients regain their mobility and improve their quality of life.
A Promising Approach to Gait Dysfunction
The study found that FES, like a well-placed oasis, significantly improved gait function and quality of life in MS patients. This non-invasive approach offers a potential alternative or adjunct to existing treatments, providing a much-needed respite from the challenges of MS-related gait dysfunction. It's a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, there can be new and innovative solutions waiting to be discovered.
Empowering MS Patients
This research offers a ray of hope for MS patients struggling with gait dysfunction. FES provides a potentially effective and non-invasive approach to improving mobility and quality of life. It's a testament to the ongoing quest for new and innovative treatments that can empower MS patients to navigate the desert of their condition with greater independence and confidence.
Dr. Camel's Conclusion
This study brings a refreshing breeze to the desert of MS research. FES emerges as a potential oasis of hope, offering a new pathway to improve gait function and quality of life for MS patients. It's a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, we can find new and innovative solutions that can bring hope and empowerment to those affected by this debilitating disease.
