Background: MS, or multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological condition that often reduces equilibrium and raises the possibility of falls, significantly affecting patients' mobility and quality of life. Exercise therapy is a key intervention in MS rehabilitation, yet the comparative impact of group versus individual exercise remains underexplored. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of group exercise to increase equilibrium and lower the hazard of falls in multiple sclerosis of individuals with, compared to individual exercise and no intervention. Methodology: A total of 45 participants diagnosed with MS were casually assigned into three groups: A of Group (group exercise), Group B (individual exercise), and Group C (control). Sessions were held 3 times a week for eight weeks through the intervention. Balance and fall risk were assessed pre- and post-intervention using the The Fall Efficacy Scale International (FES-I), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Results: Participants in Group A showed significant improvement in BBS and TUG scores and reported a reduced fear of falling compared to B and C cohorts (p < 0.05). Group B. Also demonstrated improvement, though less pronounced than Group A. The control group showed no significant changes. Conclusion: Group exercise is additional effective than individual exercise or no intervention in enlightening equilibrium and reducing fall risks among MS patients. These findings suggest that incorporating group-based physical activity into MS rehabilitation programs may enhance functional outcomes and promote social engagement.
