Abstract:
:Fatigue is one of the most common disabling symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the fatigability on patients with MS by the application of hand grip isotonic and isometric exercises with dynamometer. As results the fatigability, the isometric strength and time were statistically similar in the control group and in MS. We conclude that although fatigue is a frequent subjective complaint on MS, the fatigability and the recover after exercises seems to be normal.
