Mood & Cognition in MS: What You Can Do

About 60 to 65 percent of people living with MS experience some degree of change in cognition, and more than half of people living with MS experience mood changes at some point in the course of their disease.  Our understanding of the role that cognition and mood play in a person’s experience of multiple sclerosis has expanded dramatically in recent years. 

Hippotherapy and Functional Improvements in Individuals with MS

Hippotherapy (also known as equine therapy) is a unique form of rehabilitative therapy believed to be beneficial for individuals with multiple sclerosis.  Both the shape of the horse’s back and its movements can help stretch hip joints and reduce both pain and spasticity in leg muscles.
