Abstract
The present review showed that 1) isokinetic dynamometry has a high reliability in PwMS; 2) muscle strength, power and rate of force development is impaired in PwMS compared to HC, and muscle strength impairments are most pronounced during maximal moderate to fast dynamic muscle contractions of the lower extremities; and 3) progressive resistance training can improve muscle mechanical function in PwMS. Future studies should evaluate progressive resistance training designed to optimize maximal moderate to fast dynamic muscle contractions of the lower extremities.
