Mijelin je struktura koja oblaže akson i ima važnu ulogu u provođenju električnih impulsa. Demijelinizacijske su bolesti obilježene autoimunim upalnim procesom koji dovodi do selektivne destrukcije mijelina u središnjem živčanom sustavu. Multipla skleroza je najčešća demijelinizacijska bolest. Postoji povezanost između čimbenika životnog stila poput prehrane, cigareta, alkohola, kofeina i multiple skleroze. Učestalo se događa da osobe oboljele od multiple skleroze počinju koristiti neke od nekonvencionalnih metoda liječenja. Terapija bi trebala biti prilagođena za svakog bolesnika individualno a pristup pacijentu trebao bi biti holistički. Postoje različiti timski radovi u rehabilitaciji od kojih je najučinkovitiji transdiciplinarni jer članovi tima ulaze jedni drugima u područje te time bivaju educiraniji, a samim tim pacijent dobiva kvalitetniju uslugu. U ovakvom pristupu, fizioterapeut će, uz fizikalnu terapiju koju provodi, biti educiran i za ostala područja te biti upoznat s utjecajem stila i načina života na razvoj MS čime će se podići razina kvalitete liječenja oboljelih osoba

Myelin is a structure that coats the axon and plays a vital role in conducting the electrical impulses. Demyelinating diseases are characterized by an autoimmune inflammatory process that results in the selective destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. The most common demyelinating disease is multiple sclerosis. There is a correlation between lifestyle factors such as nutrition, cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine and multiple sclerosis. Most often, people suffering from multiple sclerosis are beginning to use some unconventional methods of treatment. Treatment should be optimized for every patient individually and approach to patient should be holistic. In the rehabilitation process exists different team works and the one that proved to be most efficient is transdisciplinary method because the team members intervene in to each others fields of expertise. At the same time are getting educated while offering and providing a better care for the patients. This approach enables for a physiotherapist during the physical therapy to learn and get trained, a better understanding with the life style of the patient suffering from MS. Overall with this method provides better results in the treatments of patient with MS.
