3 Overview Physical activity - Brain health - Function & structure Brain reorg in MS Progression and aging Comorbidities & MS Extending beyond the clinic

4 Physical activity Voelcker-Rehage, et al. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2013

5 Brain health across the lifespan: Function: Cognition Voelcker-Rehage, et al. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2013

6 Cardio-fitness as a long-term modulator of cognition Hotting, et al. Brain Sci. 2012

7 Combining physical activity and cognitive task training Holzschneider, et al. Neuroimage 2012

8 Hotting, et al. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2013

9 Hotting, et al. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2013

10 Brain health across the lifespan - Structure: Volume Voelcker-Rehage, et al. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2013

11 Physical exercise and brain volume Killgore, et al. Sci Rep 2013

12 Physical exercise and neurotrophins across the lifespan Factors Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Nerve growth factor (NGF) Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) Adolescents Pareja-Galeano, et.al. J Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact 2013, and older adults (cardio-training) Voss, et al. Brain Behav Immun 2013 and elderly women (resistancetraining) Coelho, et al. Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2012

13 Neuroplasticity in MS Functional reorganization Adaptive change in regional brain function in response to insult Begins early in the disease process CIS and early RRMS functional reorganization more centralized to primary brain regions responsible for initial loss of function (i.e. primary sensorimotor) Pantano, et al. Brain 2002 As MS progresses reorganization becomes increasingly maladaptive and more widespread including bilateral (secondary) brain regions Rocca, et al. Neurology 2002 Spontaneous reorganization is neither consistent nor complete

14 Physical exercise and brain health in MS White, et al. Sports Med 2008

15 2006 WHO statement Rehabilitation should start as soon as possible after the diagnosis of a neurological disorder or condition... and should focus on the community rehabilitation perspective it is important to recognize that rehabilitation efforts in the community can be delivered by professionals outside the health sector, ideally in collaboration with rehabilitation professionals. World Health Organization. Neurological Disorders: public health challenges Chapter 2: Global burden of neurological disorders: estimates and projections Accessed April, 2014.

16 Why proactive? Why ASAP!? Stay ahead of the advancing disability curve Maintain/improve brain health Neural protection Brain plasticity Manage and/or prevent comorbidities

17 Scalfari, et al. Neurology 2011

18 Disability as a function of age Physical, cognitive and participation related disability advances with age Giordano Eur J Neurol 2013 Scalfari, et al. Neurology 2011

19 Why proactive? Why ASAP!? Stay ahead of the advancing disability curve Maintain/improve brain health Neural protection Brain plasticity Manage and/or prevent comorbidities

20 Cardio-training: neuroplasticity & cognitive Leavitt, et al. Neurocase 2013

21 Physical exercise and neurotrophic factors Bansi, et al. Mult Scler 2013

22 Why proactive? Why ASAP!? Stay ahead of the advancing disability curve Maintain/improve brain health Neural protection Brain plasticity Manage and/or prevent comorbidities

23 Physical activity and comorbidities Chronic pain Sullivan, et al. Curr Pain Headache Rep 2012 Cardiorespiratory fitness Motl, et al. Acta Neurol Scand 2011 Bone health Mojtahedi, et al. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2008

24 Physical activity and coexistence of CVD Motl, et al. Neuroepidemiology 2011

25 2006 WHO statement Rehabilitation should start as soon as possible after the diagnosis of a neurological disorder or condition... and should focus on the community rehabilitation perspective it is important to recognize that rehabilitation efforts in the community can be delivered by professionals outside the health sector, ideally in collaboration with rehabilitation professionals.

26 Extending to the community, how? Goal: to provide long-term follow-up care Partner with recreation and fitness centers exercise specialists Salback, et al. J Phys Act Health 2013 American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) certifications Health & Fitness Clinical Exercise Specialist Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist(s) trained/ coached Telerehabilitation Rogante, et al. J Telemed Telecare 2006

27 Conclusion MS Rehabilitation needs to shift from reactive and short-term to proactive, early and long-term Primary basis for shift Spontaneous brain recovery inefficient and incomplete Becoming more apparent with progression of disease & age Effects of physical activity and brain health Taking advantage of improving knowledge of brain function & structure: anticipate the subclinical! Comorbidities Consequences of the disease, of the progressing disability (worsened by inactivity) Extending beyond the clinic Partnering with exercise specialists in the community = major enhancement of long-term efforts
