The investigators aimed in this study to measure the muscular strength, cardiovascular system and quality of life effects of rehabilitation with aerobic and isokinetic exercise program in MS patients.
A total of 40 patients enrolled in the study from outpatient clinics were included. Two groups were formed, namely 'aerobic exercise' and 'isokinetic exercise' groups. Using modified Bruce protocol, effort capacities were measured with Humac Norm Cybex dynamometer, 6 min. walking distance and MSQOL-54 scale were used to assess the quality of life. The aerobic exercise group by using treadmill their walking speeds were adjusted according to the maximum speed at which the person could walk was performed for a period of ; 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 30-45 minutes each patient according to the progressive exercise method. 5-10 minutes warm-up exercise was performed before starting to work, 5-10 minutes stretching exercise at the end of the exercise. Patients in the isokinetic exercise group pedaled a bicycle ergometer for warming with low resistance for 5 minutes before starting to exercise, and exercise was applied for 5-10 minutes to cool down at the end of the study. The exercise program was applied for 8 weeks with 3 repetitions per week.
Assessment of exercise capacity (effort capacity) was performed by applying the Norav Trackmaster TMX 425 Treadmill Exercise Device by applying Modified Bruce protocol. Patients' total exercise times were expressed in seconds. Indirect maximum amount of oxygen volume (VO2 max) values were calculated using heart rate obtained with submaximal treadmill exercise.All the cases participating in the study were compared in terms of the pre-treatment MSQoL-54 scale and the MSQoL-54 scale subscale.
3,524 studies on the registry are indexed under Multiple Sclerosis; 668 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is below the median of 50 across 2,386 interventional studies indexed under Multiple Sclerosis.

Exclusion Criteria:
Group 1 was 'aerobic exercise group'. Patients in this group were included in an aerobic exercise rehabilitation program that they would apply for 3 days per week for 8 weeks. The aerobic exercise group by using treadmill their walking speeds were adjusted according to the maximum speed at which the person could walk was performed for a period of ; 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 30-45 minutes each patient according to the progressive exercise method. 5-10 minutes warm-up exercise was performed before starting to work, 5-10 minutes stretching exercise at the end of the exercise.
Other: 'aerobic exercise'
Group 2 was 'isokinetic exercise group'. Patients in this group were included in an isokinetic exercise rehabilitation program that they would apply for 3 days per week for 8 weeks. Patients in the isokinetic exercise group pedaled a bicycle ergometer for warming with low resistance for 5 minutes before starting to exercise, and exercise was applied for 5-10 minutes to cool down at the end of the study.
Device: 'isokinetic exercise'
The aerobic exercise group by using treadmill their walking speeds were adjusted according to the maximum speed at which the person could walk was performed a period of; 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 30-45 minutes each patient.
Patients in the isokinetic exercise group pedaled a bicycle ergometer for warming with low exercise and exercise was applied for 5-10 minutes to cool down at the end of the study. were included in a rehabilitation program that they would apply for 3 days per week for 8 weeks.The measuring of isokinetic muscle strength, CSMI Humac Norm isokinetic dynamometer's commonly used angular velocities of 60 ° and 180 ° / sec was used.
Muscle strenght outcomes
The measuring of muscle strength, CSMI Humac Norm isokinetic dynamometer's commonly used angular velocities of 60 ° and 180 ° / sec was used. The muscle strenght peak torque value was newton-meter (Nm)
Time frame: 8 weeks
Quality of life outcomes
Quality of life was assesment via Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 instrument (MSQoL-54). MSQol-54 consists of 54 questions in total. In all cases, they were asked to fill in the questionnaire alone and by reading it themselves. The overall MSQoL-54 scale should be between in 0-100 scores. Higher scores better than lower scores.
Time frame: 8 weeks
The effort capacity outcomes
The effort capacity was performed by applying the Norav Trackmaster TMX 425 Treadmill Exercise Device by Applying Modified Bruce Protocol. The values of the effort capacity were assesment as maximum amount of oxygen volume (ml/kg/min.).
Time frame: 8 weeks
