Abstract

methodologies is needed to help clarify the role of this intervention. Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review, followed by meta-analysis, on the hypothetical effects of exercise in different manifestations of strength in patients with MS. Methodology: The methodological quality of the data was assessed through the application of the PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) scale, and the meta-analysis, carried out using the computer software Comprehensive Meta-Analysis V2. The exercise and control groups were compared at the initial stage and after 12 weeks, with regard to different types of strength (maximum voluntary contraction, isometric and isokinetic forces). Result: The electronic search identified 152 articles, of which 22 that responded to the criteria used for the review were used. To evaluate the methodological quality, PEDro scale was used. Conclusion: It was concluded that, after the patients carried out exercise programs, increase in strength occurred, this improvement being more significant when assessed in isometric dynamometry.
