Cooling Equipment Distribution
MSAA provides cooling vests (such as the one pictured above) to individuals with MS who qualify for the program.
Many people with multiple sclerosis are heat sensitive. MS research has proven that heat and humidity often aggravate common MS symptoms. MS research has also proven that cooling the body can help lessen the negative effects of heat and humidity on a person with MS.
The most common cooling product is a vest that contains insulated pockets which hold small ice packs. MS clients who wear these vests often experience temporary cooling relief which allows them to spend a few hours outdoors when the weather turns warmer. The MSAA Cooling Program offers two different styles of cooling vests:
- Vests that can be worn under clothing
- Holds fewer ice packs, resulting in less weight but less cooling time - Vests that can be worn over clothing
- Holds more ice packs, resulting in more cooling time but more weight
