Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive neurological disease. Respiratory
dysfunction due to weakness in the respiratory musculature has been described in MS. This
leads to increased morbidity and mortality in late stages of the disease. It is possible
that respiratory dysfunction influence physical fitness in earlier stages as well. Walking
disability and fatigue causes significant impact on health in patients with MS, even in
earlier stages.
The hypothesis is that there is a relationship between respiratory function, walking
capacity and fatigue and that daily deep breathing exercise during two months will improve
respiratory function, walking capacity and fatigue.
