Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system, where the patient loses the ability to control nerves, with symptoms that are variable and unpredictable, ranging from vision weakness, difficulty in movement or speech, to general fatigue—essentially causing a widespread imbalance in the body. Currently, there is no definitive cure for MS, partly because its symptoms fluctuate over time, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of treatments; thus, managing the disease to prevent deterioration is crucial. Movement originates from the nervous system, which sends signals to muscles to perform specific actions, requiring mental focus and training to develop and refine the coordination involved in different movements, each with its own rhythm linked to timing and muscle control. This highlights the importance of rhythmic movement in isotonic exercises and their effect on improving the overall condition of the motor system—specifically motor balance and leg muscle strength—in MS patients. The research problem lies in the significant impact MS has on the motor system, especially as it has recently spread widely among young adults aged 20–40, a vital productive segment of society, which affects the fundamental social and economic structure. Therefore, the researcher found it necessary to explore complementary treatments aimed at improving patients’ general and motor conditions, leading to the trial of isotonic exercises using specific rhythmic movement patterns.
