ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation (TELEREBT) of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the context of the coronavirus pandemic 2020-2021. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 37 patients with MS who underwent a course of teleRBT. The course included 10 classes of 60 minutes for 10 days with a two-day break. Various questionnaires and scales were used to assess the effectiveness, as well as an assessment of the neurological status. RESULTS: 19 patients refused to participate in the program. The level of disability on the EDSS scale decreased from 4.86±1.19 at the initial level to 4.73±1.12 after the course of teleRBT, while no statistically significant changes were found. CONCLUSION: TeleRPT in patients can be an effective way to correct existing disorders. Further research is required to establish the effectiveness of teleRBT.

A literature review of clinical trials on the effectiveness of the use of dance movement therapy in patients with neurological diseases is presented. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effectiveness of dance movement therapy on non-motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease is presented. Dance movement therapy was found to have a significant positive effect on cognitive impairment, but no effect on depression, fatigue, and apathy. The effectiveness of dance movement therapy in post-stroke rehabilitation is shown. The data of a systematic review are presented, which found that dance movement therapy is effective not only in the rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease and stroke, but also in the rehabilitation of patients with multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease and the consequences of spinal cord injury.
