People with multiple sclerosis and obesity can achieve substantial weight loss, leading to improved mobility and quality of life, with a specially designed program, new trial results suggest.
Exoskeleton therapy could help improve mobility, cognition and brain connectivity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), a team of MS experts at Kessler Foundation suggests, in Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders.
Washington [US], May 30 (ANI): Exoskeleton therapy improves mobility, cognition and brain connectivity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to the findings of a new study.

East Hanover, NJ. May 28, 2021. A team of multiple sclerosis (MS) experts at Kessler Foundation led the first pilot randomized controlled trial of robotic-exoskeleton assisted exercise rehabilitation (REAER) effects on mobility, cognition, and brain connectivity in people with substantial MS-related disability. Their results showed that REAER is likely an effective intervention, and is a promising therapy for improving the lives of those with MS.
