Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson disease (PD) are conditions where patients can benefit from strength training programs targeted to weakened muscles, resulting in some remediation of weakness deficits with improved strength outcomes. In contrast, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Muscular dystrophy (MD) are progressive conditions where such interventions have limited impact on reversing muscle weakness.
