Multiple Sclerosis

Transcript: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially debilitating disease in which your body's immune system eats away at the protective sheath that covers your nerves. This interferes with the communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Ultimately, this may result in deterioration of the nerves themselves, a process that's not reversible. Signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs, which typically occurs on one side of your body at a time or the bottom half of your body Partial or complete loss of vision, usually in one eye at a time, often with pain during eye movement (optic neuritis) Double vision or blurring of vision Tingling or pain in parts of your body Electric-shock sensations that occur with certain head movements Tremor, lack of coordination or unsteady gait (the way locomotion is achieved using human limbs) Fatigue Dizziness Most people with multiple sclerosis, particularly in the beginning stages of the disease, experience relapses of symptoms, which are followed by periods of complete or partial remission. Signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis often are triggered or worsened by an increase in body temperature. The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown (idiopathic). It's believed to be an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. In multiple sclerosis, this process destroys myelin — the fatty substance that coats and protects nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. Myelin can be compared to the insulation on electrical wires. When myelin is damaged, the messages that travel along that nerve may be slowed or blocked. Risk Factors include: Being between the ages of 20 and 40 Being female Having a family history. If one of your parents or siblings has had multiple sclerosis, you have a 1 to 3 percent chance of developing the disease — as compared with the risk in the general population, which is just a tenth of 1 percent. Having certain infections Being white Living in countries with temperate climes. Multiple sclerosis is far more common in Europe, southern Canada, northern United States, New Zealand and southeastern Australia Complications: Muscle stiffness or spasms Paralysis, most typically in the legs Problems with bladder, bowel or sexual function Mental changes, such as forgetfulness or difficulties concentrating Depression Epilepsy Test and diagnoses: Blood tests Spinal Tap (lumbar puncture)- A doctor or nurse removes a small sample of cerebrospinal fluid from within your spinal canal for laboratory analysis. MRI Treatments and drugs: Even though there is no known cure for Multiple Sclerosis there are medicines to help treat attacks: Corticosteroids Plasma Exchange Drugs to help with Symptoms Physical Therapy Muscle relaxants such as baclofen (Lioresal) and tizanidine (Zanaflex) Multiple Sclerosis

Transcript: Multiple Sclerosis CNS: Central Nervous System -brain -spinal chord -optic nerves The path over which a nerve signal travels is protected by insulation (myelin). This is what is damaged in MS patients, and it's thought to be made by a confused immune cells. The immune cells eat away the myelin as well as the spindle, wire-like nerve fibers.With inflammation continuing to occur, nerve signals are interrupted. Symptoms vary from mild to very severe and affect people between the ages of 20 and 40... •fatigue, usually during the afternoon, even after sleep •heat sensitivity •numbness & dizziness/vertigo, impaired thinking •bladder and bowel dysfunction •tremor or muscle spasms, increased spasticity •impaired mobility •optic neuritis-vision problems •swallowing disorders An Imperfect System.. MRI-can show scar tissue and lesions LUMBAR PUNCTURES- examine the cerebrospinal fluid of the spinal cord BLOOD SAMPLES electrical NERVE TESTS and... a COMPLETE medical history There is no cure.. BUT the ulrtimate goal is to slow the progress of MS and help you to live as normal a life as possible. E.G. Interferon drugs, daily physical therapy, a healthy diet. Meds can be given as needed to help with symptoms. The Endddd:) If two of the previously mentioned conditions are present see a neurologist. It's been suggested that people who get MS are born witha genetic predisposition to react to an environmental agent Gentically speaking, 2nd and 3rd degree relatives are more at risk than say, sisters and brothers sclerosis is actually another name for scar tissue (that forms over damaged myelin) you're my cousin? The Causes..

Multiple Sclerosis

Transcript: “Recently noticed increasing levels of tiredness at the end of the day” - book appointments at middle or start of day Daily routine- work, son, meal times - book appointments around these The appointments would not want to be too vigorous for long periods of time Timing of physiotherapy appointment 50 year old with a 5 year history of MS Works as a secretary and has noticed an increased levels of tiredness at the end of the day Doesnt have any interest in going to the gym but enjoys walking She also has an 18 year old son who lives at home (suspects he has been smoking) Common Medications for MS MS and cigarette smoking Advice for Pam about her son Medication History of a patient with MS Meet Pam Pam's Case Pam's Case Aerobic Exercises Strengthening and balance Medication of MS may cause side effects like flu-like symptoms, loss of appetite, anxiety, nausea and vomiting. Interferon – released in response to the entry of the virus. Side effect: flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, chills and fever Imuran – immune suppressing drug, can halter attack of the immune system on nerves. Side effect = fatigue Muscle Spasticity – sustained stiffness due to increase muscle tone -The intensity can vary due to different body positions, state of relaxation and different posture Baclofen is a muscle relaxant that restores imbalance of the electrical signals which allows more normal muscle movements. Key objectives of the exercise programme Multiple Sclerosis Pam's sudden Heart Rate (HR) drop Sit to stand – ½ squats Toe and heel raises Wall push-ups Tandem stance walking up and down the hall (only when accompanied by physio) The Programme Cardiac Dysautonomia Caused by lesions in the brain which 10-15% of MS patients get. Dysautonomia is an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems of the autonomic nervous system. Dysautonomia causes fluctuations in the HR response to stimuli such as exercise In Pam's case with the Borg RPE scale she had a "10" on the modified scale this is classed as "very, very strong almost maximal exertion" indicating that she felt extremely exhausted with the exercise test. Increase cardio-respiratory fitness Help increase ability to perform everyday activities Long term benefits Maintain or improve current muscular strength Maintain or improve balance Berg Balance test = 45/56 Resting Heart rate = 72bpm BMI = 28 kg/m2 classed in the overweight category Exercise test = 5 minute walk, HR decreased to 60bpm, and rose to 100bpm after 1 minute on a treadmill. Modified Borg scale ="10" It is important to use HR monitoring to ensure safety of Pam The use of other methods to monitor the body homeostasis control is important as it allows the physio to have a better understanding of how the body is functioning under the pressure of exercise The use of the Borg RPE scale is very useful to determine the intensity The Modified Borg scale is from 0-10 with 10 = "very, very strong almost maximal" exertion Need to ensure that the room is standardized with regards to temperature, humidity and how relaxed the environment is. MS is an autoimmune disease, where the body's immune cells attack the nervous system; This causes inflammation resulting in demyelination of axons Communication between cells is slowed and or stopped altogether; symptoms include: fatigue muscle weakness loss of coordination and balance altered sensation Causes of MS The cause of MS is still unknown but suggestions such as environmental cues, viruses and or genetic factors are being researched. Exercise Programmes in MS patients Heart Rate Questions? Smoking can lead to MS susceptibility Smoking can lead to symptoms of MS worsening at a faster rate Assessment Results Results from her tests "MS patients have been shown to make favourable improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness in as little as 4 weeks." (White and Dressendorfer, 2004) What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? Fatigue is one of the main symptoms of MS- 80% have it Rest is an important part of fatigue management Mental fatigue normally follows a daily pattern, and many MS patients have reported that they “feel fine during the first few hours of the day but, afternoon or early evening, feel completely exhausted.”- http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/fatigue.html Physical fatigue can be easily induced by small amounts of physical activity. Pam performed an exercise test, where she walked for 5 minutes at her natural walking speed. At the end of the test, her heart rate dropped down to 60bpm (below her resting HR of 72bpm) and then rose back up to 100bpm after 1 minute of rest. She also experience a "10" on the modified Borg Scale 2x5 minutes outside walking with 10 minute rest in between. Cycle on the stationary bike – 2x5 minutes with 10 minute break. Swimming Stair walking – up and down two flights, few minutes break then up and down again. Regular breaks are important Progression What questions relating to medication history should the physiotherapist ask Pam and what
