Physical Activity Together for Multiple Sclerosis (PAT-MS): A randomized controlled feasibility trial of a dyadic behaviour change intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many people with advanced multiple sclerosis (MS) and their care-partners do not engage in sufficient physical activity (PA) for health benefits. We developed "Physical Activity Together for MS (PAT-MS)", a 12-week dyadic behavioural intervention, to promote PA among these dyads. Herein, we evaluated the feasibility of PAT-MS before a definitive trial.

Methods

A randomized controlled feasibility trial, with 1:1 allocation into the intervention or wait-list control condition. Predefined progression criteria included rates of recruitment, retention, safety, participant satisfaction and adherence. Changes in self-reported and accelerometer-measured PA were assessed at baseline and post-intervention using mixed-factor ANOVAs. Effects
