Systematic Review on Exercise Training as a Neuroplasticity-Inducing Behavior in Multiple Sclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Background. Exercise training is associated with functional improvements in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), perhaps based on neuroplasticity. However, inferences regarding neuroplasticity require observations of exercise-related changes in the central nervous system that explain functional adaptations. This systematic review critically evaluated studies on exercise training, neuroimaging outcomes, and functional outcomes in MS based on consistency with a well-established conceptual model for characterizing exercise training as a possible neuroplasticity-inducing behavior in this population. Methods. We performed targeted and comprehensive searches of multiple databases for papers involving exercise training interventions on functional and neuroimaging outcomes in person
