Objectives:
This systematic review aims to examine the effects of task-oriented (TO) training on gait function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to determine the most effective TO training protocol.
Methods:
We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, REHABDATA, and PEDro for studies that examined the effects of TO on gait ability (i.e., gait velocity, gait endurance, functional mobility) in people with MS from 1971 to October 2022. The quality of the selected studies was estimated using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale.
Results:
Nine studies met the eligibility criteria. A total of 199 people with MS, 58.79% of whom were women, were included. Five studies revealed "good" quality, one revealed "fair", and three exhibited "poor" quality. Four studies administered TO training alone, and five combined TO training with conventional physiotherapy. The selected studies showed varied results for the influences of TO training on gait ability in people with MS.
Conclusions:
The evidence for the impact of TO training on people with MS was limited. The optimal TO training protocol stills vague. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed.
