Multiple Sclerosis
For people living with multiple sclerosis, regular movement can help counter fatigue and low mood while supporting overall quality of life. Motorized passive and active-assist range-of-motion therapy offers a practical way to keep the arms or legs moving on days when weakness, fatigue, balance concerns, or limited mobility make independent exercise difficult. Consistent use may help maintain joint flexibility, circulation, comfort, and participation in an ongoing mobility routine. Ex N’ Flex is not a disease-modifying treatment or a replacement for professional care, but it can support regular movement at the person’s current ability level.

Physical exercise in multiple sclerosis: supportive care or a putative disease-modifying treatment. An increasing number of studies have shown beneficial effects of exercise training in MS. It has been reported that such programs not only improve fitness parameters but can also enhance quality of life and beneficially affect some suggestive disability measures. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1586/14737175.6.3.347
