Improving muscle control and range of motion with Multiple Sclerosis

Scott had been experiencing progressing weakness in his legs, particularly in areas that are key to walking power. Erin works methodically through muscles to identify areas where it seems there is specific weakness or reduced control (this is generally a reduced signal to the area) so they can focus on improving the communication.

As with so many clients with Multiple Sclerosis, they work on 3 key areas: • Dorsiflexion for drop foot • Hip flexion • Hamstring control

From walking poles to unaided 🏆

When Nat first visited APEX NEURO, our main focus was improving her walking using her walking poles after her mobility had been declining due to Multiple Sclerosis.

This time, our focus turns to a big goal - walking unaided!

First Rob and Nat break through spasticity, which has been restricting her ability to engage specific muscles. Once this is reduced, Nat can better control the muscle recruitment, which will benefit her walking.

As it’s been some time since Nat walked unaided, there is a lot of fear and her body has a tendency to tense up (we see this often!) but Rob and Nat work on building the confidence to take steps without any aid. At first her steps are narrow and her feet want to stick to the floor, but with practice she starts getting longer, more fluid strides and better clearance. This is a big step in trusting her body again!

Kate travelled from Iceland for help with FND symptoms that were impacting her walking, especially when climbing the 2 flights of stairs to her boyfriend’s house - stepping down was a specific trigger and her confidence doing this was knocked.

Luke and Kate work on this after achieving control over her feet and lower legs at the start of the week - Kate makes this look easy but after living with reduced sensation and control in her feet this is a big achievement!

Multiple Sclerosis: re-learning to stand

If at first you don’t succeed - keep laughing, and try again! What amazing progress over the course of one session - Rebecca and Laura make quick progress in identifying areas of weakness, breaking through spasticity (which uncovers a lot of strength!) and teaching Rebecca how to stand. At first she leans forward and her knees want to fall towards each other, but with work and coaching they quickly start to break those patterns, so Rebecca can stand with more stability, power and confidence!

For a condition that is meant to be ‘only downhill’ - we argue this doesn’t have to be true!

Multiple Sclerosis: Building Strength

Our approach goes beyond just the work in the clinic, particularly when it comes to degenerative conditions like MS. Building muscle and strength is a substantial goal for many of our clients, many of them have never used a gym before, or aren’t familiar with how to train to build strength and muscle. Part of our approach is to teach clients how to train in a way that is going to be most effective in rebuilding strength and muscle.

We often refer to our approach like a ‘relay race’ - we start the race by building the foundation (improving the brain-body communication and ability to control and contract the muscles). We then can ‘pass the baton’ to the client with strategies such as training to continue the work we’ve started. Muscle and strength takes time and repetition to build, so this is their job. It is so important for degenerative conditions, especially for clients who have experienced loss of strength and/or muscle atrophy.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before — our team is great at breaking down the barriers!

From Chicago to the UK with the goal of improving her walking distance (1.6miles was her goal) which turned into learning to run again!

“I got there on Tuesday, couldn’t walk far. Definitely couldn’t run. Today I’ve been there 6 days. I’m running. I walked 1.6 miles unassisted. I don’t even know how to explain... My belief in the fact that APEX NEURO can do anything. And also what my body is capable of. We’re told that we should just expect to decline and our only hope is medication. But what I’m learning, because I’m SEEING it, is that APEX is giving me the ability of anybody that I see walking on the street. So I just want to shout it from the rooftops. I cannot get over my results 1. and how quickly. I’ve been in physical therapy for years now and have not come close to what I’ve accomplished in 6 days. And I’m not alone. I’m so so thankful that I saw this Instagram post and for some reason thought to set up a call. Because now I’m running around my hotel room. I literally cannot believe that it’s possible.”

Breaking the ‘cycle’ in FND: insight into our approach to taking back control

One of the most common Functional Neurological Disorder symptoms we work is uncontrollable movements, which can present in many different ways including tremors, convulsions, spasms, tics. Our approach involves understanding patterns that present in these movements, then teaching clients how to change these patterns. You can see the work Leanne is putting in, with some strategic help from Luke, who has spent the days before this better understanding Leanne’s patterns to get them to a stage they can start to work to change them.

Multiple Sclerosis - rebuilding communication and control in the hamstrings Hamstrings bend the knee (important to gait cycle) and can play big role in foot drop - they are key for clearance of the floor and using stairs especially when trying to clear substantial height.

We are often observing strong spasticity in MS that restricts hamstrings function, once we can begin to break through this pattern, we can focus on rebuilding the strength and control to lift and lower the hamstring which is the foundation for good ground clearance. Erin and Sarah are working on improving this control in both the lift and lowering of the hamstring to improve Sarah’s gait and ability to take clear strides

Tremors and involuntary movements are two of the most common FND symptoms we work with - the key is understanding the patterns that drive this response so we can build in strategies to begin to take back control.
