Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Other: The effect of Iyengar yoga practice on patients with multiple sclerosis	Other: The effect of Iyengar yoga practice on patients with multiple sclerosis The study will be conducted as a longitudinal follow-up - at first patients will fbe examined 2 months before the start of the exercise, than they will be examined at the beginning and end of the exercise, which they will attend for 3 months. Patients will be re-examined 2 months after the end of the exercise to clarify the continuing effect of the exercise. The examination will include a basic kinesiological analysis and a neurological examination,TUG test, 6MWT along with the Borg Subjective Weight Rating Scale and T25FWT, BBS, NHPT and stable sitting time in wheelchairs. To evaluate the development of the chest, the respiratory amplitude will be examined and the position of the spine in statics and dynamics will be evaluated using a spinal mouse. Quality of life will be assessed through the MFIS, MSIS-29, MSQOL 54 questionares and Beck's anxiety inventory.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Hypothesis 1 [3 months]
Increase in respiratory amplitud. It will be measured by the meter.
Hypothesis 2 [3 months]
Increase in spinal development in the sagittal and frontal plane. It will by measured by spinal mouse.
Hypothesis 3 [3 months]
Increase in walking speed measured by T25FWT. It will by measured by stopwatch.
Hypothesis 4 [3 months]
Balance improvement in the Berg balance scale. It will be measured by the Berg balance scale questionare.
Hypothesis 5 [3 months]
The quality of life of patients with MS is improved subjectively evaluated through MSQOL54 questionare.
