Abstract
This clinical case concerns a 54-year-old woman with onset of multiple sclerosis at the age of 21 years, a long remission for 12 years and a subsequent resumption of disease activity partially contained by therapies. Not surprisingly, the increased burden of disability and impairment of quality of life is related not so much to the severity of the neurological damage as to the spasticity associated with the disease, which is responsible for severe alterations to posture control and trunk instability. A complex therapeutic strategy pathway started combining physical and pharmacological treatment, which reached a delicate balance with the introduction of nabiximols.
