Progressive multiple sclerosis patients with mild UL dysfunction benefit from task-oriented UL rehabilitation, which seems to be more efficient than simple passive mobilization. Despite a high burden of disability and brain damage, functional adaptive capacities seem to be preserved, thus providing a rationale for the use of rehabilitative treatments in late PMS.
