Robotic technology aids in managing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis by providing targeted therapy to improve muscle strength, balance, and overall functional capacity.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is characterized by inflammation, demyelination (damage to the protective covering of nerve fibers), and the formation of scar tissue, leading to a wide range of neurological symptoms and impairments.
At Glavic Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of multiple sclerosis, offering comprehensive care to individuals affected by this complex neurological condition. Our multidisciplinary team of experts is dedicated to providing personalized treatment plans to help patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the central nervous system, causing damage to the protective insulation called myelin that surrounds nerve fibers. When any portion of the myelin sheath or nerve fiber is compromised, it disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses between the body and brain, leading to the diverse symptoms associated with MS.
The exact cause of multiple sclerosis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Potential triggers may include viral infections, autoimmune responses, and genetic predisposition.
Four primary types of MS are recognized: relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS), secondary progressive MS (SPMS), and progressive relapsing MS (PRMS). Each type of MS has a unique pattern of symptoms and disease progression.
The most prevalent form of MS is relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), characterized by temporary episodes known as relapses, flare-ups, or exacerbations, during which symptoms emerge. These are followed by periods of remission, during which symptoms may diminish or disappear. Remissions can last for varying durations, ranging from weeks to months or even years. Initially, about 85% of individuals with MS receive a diagnosis of RRMS.
Over time, RRMS may progress to secondary progressive MS (SPMS). In contrast to RRMS, SPMS does not feature distinct periods of remission or flare-ups but rather entails a gradual worsening of symptoms and neurological function. Without intervention, approximately half of individuals with RRMS transition to SPMS within 10 to 20 years.
Individuals diagnosed with primary progressive MS (PPMS) experience symptoms that steadily deteriorate without remission or flare-ups. PPMS accounts for approximately 10% of MS cases.
A relatively uncommon type of MS, progressive-relapsing MS (PRMS), involves a steady worsening of symptoms from the onset of the first symptoms, irrespective of relapses or remission periods. PRMS is diagnosed in roughly 5% of individuals with MS.
The symptoms of multiple sclerosis can vary widely among individuals and may include:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable and progressive disease that can result in both physical and cognitive limitations over time. Rehabilitative treatment has been shown to be an effective therapy in maintaining your activity levels and independence, regardless of the type of MS you have been diagnosed with.
Although rehabilitation cannot halt the progression of MS, it can significantly enhance your quality of life.
At Glavic Clinic, we offer a range of treatment options and management strategies to help individuals with multiple sclerosis effectively manage their symptoms and slow disease progression. Our comprehensive care approach may include:
At Glavic Clinic, we are committed to pioneering advanced rehabilitation solutions for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) through our state-of-the-art robotic rehabilitation program.
Our specialized approach integrates cutting-edge robotic technology with the expertise of our experienced medical team to deliver personalized rehabilitation plans tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
With the GLARTH Method, our proprietary rehabilitation protocol, we combine robotic-assisted therapies with traditional rehabilitation techniques to optimize outcomes for individuals living with MS.
Through targeted exercises and activities, our goal is to improve mobility, enhance muscle strength and coordination, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for our patients.
Glavic Clinic offers a wide range of services including neurorehabilitation, robotic rehabilitation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Glavic Clinic is located in three established locations: Madrid, Zagreb and Dubrovnik.
