Fulltext PDFIn this study the literature review focus on the available evidence for the physiotherapy intervention to prevent falls in among multiple sclerosis.Research involved a computerized data base pertaining to studies that include the physiotherapy among multiple sclerosis patients 15 articles that showed outcomes relative to falls, physiotherapy intervention to prevent falls among selected multiple sclerosis patients. Multiple sclerosis patients are at an increased risk of falling, especially when walking, due to their slower proactive equilibrium reactions, decreased ability to maintain balance when reaching, central integration impairment, slow somatosensory conduction, fatigue, delayed reaction, attention deficit, difficulty maintaining stability in the presence of external disturbances, and overload fatigue of the motor cortex. Individuals with MS experienced a decrease in trunk stability when standing, an increase in trunk sway, and an increase in postural sway when performing two tasks at once. Minimal literature on falls prevention there is scarcity of study which intervention among Step square exercises and Wii board exercises.
