Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the effect of eight weeks of CX resistance training and PNF technique on the balance and quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. 45 men with MS with age range of 20-35 years participated in this study, all of whom had medical records in Isfahan MS Center. The disability scale of the patients was 3 to 4.5 EDSS. These people were randomly divided into a control group and two intervention groups. The first intervention group did exercises with CX for eight weeks, and the second group did PNF techniques. The purpose of these exercises was to emphasize the thigh muscles. During the intervention period, the control group did not do any sports activities. In order to measure balance, leaf test and quality of life questionnaire SF-36 were used. Data analysis was done using ANOVA test and LSD post hoc test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings of this research indicated that there was no significant difference between CX exercises and PNF technique in balance (P<0.05). But in the quality of life test, there was a significant difference between CX and PNF exercises (P=0.04). Also, both intervention groups had significant differences in balance and quality of life tests compared to the control group (P=0.001). CX exercises and PNF technique have an effect on the balance and quality of life of MS patients, and CX exercises are more effective than PNF technique in increasing the quality of life of MS patients.
