The combined deleterious effects of multiple sclerosis and ageing on neuromuscular function

CONCLUSION: The combined negative effects of MS and ageing on neuromuscular function were especially present in the PF but also substantial in the KE. RFD showed large deficits for pwMS compared to HC across age groups. The findings can partly be explained by a reduction in VA and RT, but further investigations of neural regulation are needed to explain large RFD deficits.PMID:38029888 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2023.112339
