Leg strength and neural activation deficits in older adults with multiple sclerosis
Key Points
Leg strength deficits are linked to impaired neural activation in older adults with multiple sclerosis.
Participants showed no significant differences in muscle quality when compared to healthy controls.
Observational analysis focused on older adults diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, revealing notable neuromuscular function issues.
This highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve neuromuscular function in older adults with multiple sclerosis.
Abstract
Neuromuscular function deficits in older adults with MS are largely attributed to impaired neural activation without significant differences in muscle quality compared with controls.
