Abstract in brief

  • The study tested a cooling vest's impact on walking ability in heat-sensitive people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and found that wearing the vest helped them walk longer and farther during hot conditions.
  • Participants felt cooler with the cooling vest, which also reduced skin temperatures at the chest and back, although heart rate and thermal sensation at exhaustion didn't change significantly.
  • Overall, the cooling vest improved physical performance and comfort in heat-sensitive MS patients, likely because it made them feel perceptually cooler during exertion.

Online our first work dedicated to #thermoregulation in #neurologicaldiseases: Cooling vests and MS. It was great to present the pilot study at #PPTR2016, and now after 4 y we could complete it. We have to thank the attendees for their precious suggestions https://t.co/87384IEeP5
