Abstract

Loss of balance and difficulty walking are two of the main alterations of MS (Multiple Sclerosis). The therapeutic intervention that has given the best results is training through several modes of therapeutic exercise and training different muscular systems. This study proposes the development of a system together with a low-cost device that facilitates the task of intervention in patients with MS, as well as allowing exercises to be carried out for their treatment in person or remotely. In addition, the proposed system adapts the treatment exercises automatically based on its progress. Thus, the healthcare team in charge of the patient will be able to remotely monitor the patient. Early results are promising.
