Multiple Sclerosis - Physical Movement Therapy Device (PMTD)
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects women more than men.
The disorder is most commonly diagnosed between ages 20 and 40, but can be seen at any age. MS is caused by damage to the myelin sheath, the protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. When this nerve covering is damaged, nerve impulses are slowed down or stopped. Because nerves in any part of the brain or spinal cord may be damaged, patients with multiple sclerosis can have symptoms
in many parts of the body.
BENEFIT FROM PMTD:
- Facilitates detoxification of the body
- Improved absorption of nutrients and medication
- Decreased pain
- Improved range of motion (ROM) and joint flexibility
- Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary circulation
- Increased muscle tone
- Improved muscle balance and coordination
- Strengthened postural muscles, which can slow the formation of scoliosis
- Increased stamina and strength
- Smooth non-impact movements with PMTD improved circulation, digestion, balance, coordination and strength
- Prevention of muscle atrophy and wasting
- Coordinated arm and leg movements
- Improved mood
- Improved overall function in daily activities (ADLs)
- Improved quality of life
