Nordic walking in relation to MS

I came across an article that suggested benefits of Nordic walking for MS patients. The article listed these benefits:

• Improved stability and balance.
• Enhanced flexibility and strength.
• Elevated mood and well-being.
• New pathways in the brain.
• Reduced spasticity in the foot.

Because Nordic walking engages the whole body in a low impact, customizable intensity exercise, it makes for efficient use of time. That makes Nordic walking "a great way for them to engage most of the muscles of the body in one enjoyable activity" for MS patients.

Research is underway to determine how Nordic walking can increase exercise capacity in MS patients as well. MS patients only have a certain amount of energy, according to the article, so the efficiency of the exercise may be valuable in managing that time budget.
