Abstract:

Multiple Sclerosis is a debilitating neurological disease that affects a large portion of our population. Gait disturbance is a common symptom that these individuals suffer. In this outcome study, the author examined whether or not osteopathic manipulative treatment would affect gait disturbance. Both subjective and objective results showed a trend in improvement of gait stability. Lack of statistical significance may have been due to a small sample size (N=5) or with interrater reliability issues. Though no statistical significance was proven, multiple sclerosis patients still reported an increase in quality of life following osteopathic manipulative treatment.
