Anders Romberg,Arja Virtanen,Juhani Ruutiainen,Sirkka Aunola,Sirkka-Liisa Karppi,M Vaara,Jukka Surakka,T. Pohjolainen,A. Seppänen +8 more
TL;DR: Walking speed improved in this randomized study and the results confirm that exercise is safe for multiple sclerosis patients and should be recommended for those with mild to moderate disability.

Ilse Baert,Jennifer Freeman,Tori Smedal,Ulrik Dalgas,Anders Romberg,Alon Kalron,Helen Conyers,Iratxe Elorriaga,Benoit Gebara,Johanna Gumse,Adnan Heric,E.

TL;DR: Long walking tests and patient-reported Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale–12 were more appropriate than short walking tests in detecting clinically meaningful improvement after physical rehabilitation, particularly the MSWS-12 for moderate to severely disabled pwMS.

Effects of aerobic and strength exercise on motor fatigue in men and women with multiple sclerosis: a randomized controlled trial
Jukka Surakka,Anders Romberg,Juhani Ruutiainen,Sirkka Aunola,Arja Virtanen,Sirkka-Liisa Karppi,Kari Mäentaka +6 more
TL;DR: Six months of exercise reduced motor fatigue in women, but not in men after six months of Exercise, and the exercise activity of women was 25% higher than that of the men.

Domien Gijbels,Ulrik Dalgas,Anders Romberg,Vincent de Groot,Francois Bethoux,Claude Vaney,Benoit Gebara,Carme Santoyo Medina,Heigo Maamâgi,Kamila Rasova,Benoit Maertens de Noordhout,Kathy Knuts,Peter Feys +12 more
TL;DR: A single short test format at fastest speed accurately describes an MS patient’s general walking capacity, and for intervention studies, a long test is to be considered.

Prevalence of Walking-Related Motor Fatigue in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis Decline in Walking Distance Induced by the 6-Minute Walk Test
Carmela Leone,Carmela Leone,Deborah Severijns,Vendula Doležalová,Ilse Baert,Ulrik Dalgas,Anders Romberg,Francois Bethoux,Benoit Gebara,Carmen Santoyo Medina,Heigo Maamâgi,Kamila Rasova,Benoit Maertens de Noordhout,Kathy Knuts,Anders Guldhammer Skjerbæk,E. Jensen,Joanne M. Wagner,Peter Feys +17 more
TL;DR: More than one-third of PwMS showed walking-related motor fatigue during the 6MWT, with its prevalence greatest in more disabled persons and in those with progressive MS phenotype (up to 50%).
