Produktbeschreibung

More than two million people worldwide were affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2015, with rates varying widely among different populations. This book explores the basics of MS, which is the most common immune-mediated disorder affecting the central nervous system.

Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems. Specific symptoms can include double vision, blindness in one eye, muscle weakness, trouble with sensation, or trouble with coordination.

Written by experts in the field, this second volume includes illustrative figures and valuable references, and will be useful for researchers, students and practitioners in the industry. In addition to the numerous symptoms of MS, active research topics explored include: exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation training, combinational drug therapies, characterization of balance disorders, transcranial direct current stimulation, oxidative stress, auditory neuroprosthetics, neuropsychological assessment, imaging disconnection, gait analysis, brain-computer interfaces and dysarthria.
