Abstract
Multiple sclerosis in bud stage presents as an inflammatory process that requires steroid treatment. Few studies have been performed in which the patient is doing physical therapy during a disease outbreak. We report 2 cases of patients treated during the acute outbreak, in whom personalized physiotherapy techniques and physiotherapy concepts were applied. We have used using internationally recognized evaluation measures and obtained results of improvement in several parameters without detriment to any aspect of the clinical picture. This suggests that medical treatment and physiotherapy are complementary. Therefore, performing studies with a significant sample of the population affected by this disease would make it possible to verify if the intervention of physiotherapy during the outbreak could be beneficial in patient outcome.
