Patients with Multiple sclerosis frequently experience severe fatigue that
can be as disabling as objective neurological deficits. The walking exercises have
significant effect in reducing multiple sclerosis related- fatigue. Aim: To evaluate the
effect of walking exercises on fatigue among patients with multiple sclerosis. Design:
Nonequivalent control group time series quasi-experimental design was utilized.
Sample: A convenient sample of 60 adult male and female patients with relapse
remitting multiple sclerosis was recruited along12 weeks. Tools: Four tools were
utilized to collect data: (a) Semi-Structured Interview Questionnaire, (b) Fatigue
Severity Scale (c) The Expanded Disability Status Scale, (d) The Beck Depression
Inventory-II scale. Results: In relation to the total mean scores of fatigue severity
scale, there was high statistically significant difference between the study and control
groups after 6weeks of implementing treadmill walking exercise( t=5.367 &
p=0.0001) and after12 weeks of implementing treadmill walking exercise (t=8.931&
p=0.0001). Moreover, 50 % of the study group had no fatigue after 6 weeks of
treadmill walking exercise compared to 76.70 % of them after 12 weeks. Conclusion:
Treadmill walking exercise was effective in reducing fatigue severity level among
patients with multiple sclerosis
