Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This disrupts nerve signaling, leading to muscle weakness, fatigue, balance issues, and sensory changes. Symptoms vary widely and may progress over time. While there is no cure, physiotherapy plays a key role in managing mobility, reducing spasticity, improving balance, and supporting independence.
Causes of Multiple Sclerosis:
- Autoimmune attack on myelin sheath
- Genetic predisposition (family history of MS)
- Environmental factors (low vitamin D, viral triggers)
- More common in women and young adults
- Lifestyle and immune-related influences
Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis:
- Muscle weakness and fatigue
- Numbness or tingling in limbs
- Poor balance and coordination
- Spasticity and stiffness
- Blurred or double vision
- Cognitive or memory difficulties
- Heat sensitivity worsening symptoms
