Brief summary
Abstract Introduction: Postural control disorders are the most common motor disorder associated with multiple sclerosis. Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the potential for improvement of postural control, motion performance and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis who are performing a special neurorevolutionary balancing program. Intervention: The treated group (n = 15) performed five times a week for the treatment we defined. (60 minutes per day). The experimental group performed movements using the Xbox 360 and Kinect consoles. The study team participated in 25 sessions, five times a week. The duration of treatment was 5 weeks.The MStp group (n=14) participated in a 5-week physiotherapy course. The general treatment consisted of strengthening, stretching and walking correction. During the 5-week period, 25 patients attended training. One treatment takes 60 minutes. Sensory Organisation Test / Body Sway at the end of the baseline and treatment protocol is used to evaluate each patient. The quality of life mapping was measured by subjective tests (EQ-5D-5L, ADL). To assess the depressive state, a Beck depression questionnaire was used. Balance and motion performance were used by the Berg Balance Test and 6Minutes Walk Test. The results were compared with the control group results (n = 14) and showed improvement in overall balance and motion performance.

Intervention model description
The single-arm, 5-week intervention is monitor every day on the effect of postural control on walking performance, balance and quality of life. The intervention team (n = 15) takes 25 training sessions for 5 weeks. Every move takes 60 minutes to continuously increase the load intensity of the X-box program. Before each intervention started, the patients perform a 10 minute warm-up and the drainage exercises are 15 minutes stretching exercises. The MStp group (n=14) participated in a 5-week physiotherapy course. The general treatment consisted of strengthening, stretching and walking correction. During the 5-week period, 25 patients attended training. One treatment takes 60 minutes. The control group (n = 14) did not receive physiotherapeutic treatment outside the medication.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postural instability | 5 weeks | Body sway (mm) (Posturography test) |
| quality of life | 5 weeks | EQ-5D (EQ-5D was first introduced in 1990 by the EuroQol Group, The EQ-5D questionnaire is made up for two components; health state description and evaluation) |
| balance test | 5 weeks | Berg Balance test (The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was developed to measure balance among older people with impairment in balance function by assessing the performance of functional tasks, 41-56 = low fall risk, 21-40 = medium fall risk, 0 -20 = high fall risk ) |
| mobility test | 5 weeks | Six minutes walk test (6MWT) (m) (The six-minute walk test (6MWT) measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes. The individual is allowed to self-pace and rest as needed as they traverse back and forth along a marked walkway) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| depression scale | 5 weeks | Beck Depression scale (The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression, 0-13: minimal depression, 14-19: mild depression, 20-28: moderate depression, 29-63: severe depression) |
