Liara presents with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis with complaints of fatigue and difficulty walking. She reports worsening symptoms in the afternoon but denies any new relapses. Examination reveals mild spasticity in the lower limbs, decreased endurance, and poor postural control. The patient works as a teacher and finds it challenging to maintain energy throughout the day. Which intervention is MOST appropriate to improve the patient’s functional mobility and address her symptoms?
A) Aerobic training at moderate intensity with frequent rest breaks
B) Strength training with resistance bands targeting lower extremity muscles
C) Cooling strategies during physical activity to improve endurance
D) Balance training on a foam surface to reduce fall risk
