Non-Linear Measures of Movement Variability in Multiple Sclerosis: A Clinical Narrative Review of Lyapunov Exponent and Entropy Applications in Balance and Gait
To discuss the existing evidence for the clinical use of non-linear measures of walking and balance in detecting subtle changes, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating treatment effectiveness in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Key Findings:
Human movement variability is a key characteristic of healthy biological systems.
Alterations in movement variability are indicative of neurological dysfunction.
Non-linear measures capture complexity in motor control that traditional metrics may miss.
These methods provide insights into stability, adaptability, and predictability of movement.
Interpretation:
Non-linear metrics may reveal early dysfunction in MS by highlighting changes in movement patterns.
Limitations:
Conclusion:
Non-linear measures may guide targeted interventions in MS by monitoring disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
