Ai-Chi Exercise in Human Subjects with Multiple Sclerosis
The study aims to compare Ai-Chi exercises with land-based exercises in improving various health aspects in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Key areas of focus include balance, mobility, muscle strength, quality of life, depression, fatigue, and cognitive functions. However, no results are currently available, as this is a planned study.

findingsThis highlights the need to scientifically clarify the role of Ai-Chi in MS rehabilitation.\n\nResearch Question\n\nIn individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, are Ai-Chi exercises, as an aquatic exercise method, more effective than land-based exercises in improving balance, mobility, muscle strength, quality of life, depression, fatigue, and cognitive functions?\n\nResearch Hypotheses\n\nH1: Individuals with MS who participate in Ai-Chi exercises demonstrate significantly greater improvements in balance and mobility compared with individuals who participate in land-based exercise programs.\n\nH2: Ai-Chi exercises are more effective than land-based exercises in reducing fatigue and improving quality of life in individuals with MS.\n\nH3: Ai-Chi exercises have more positive effects on depression levels and cognitive functions in individuals with MS compared with land-based exercises.\n\nH4: Ai-Chi exercises result in a significant increase in muscle strength in individuals with MS."
