Effectiveness of two different exergaming systems in addition to conventional treatment for physical therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis: A study protocol for a multicenter, assessor-blind, 24-week, randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The main aim is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two specific exergaming systems in addition to conventional treatment on improving physical functional capacity, balance, muscle strength, spasticity in lower limbs, and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. The secondary aim is to compare the effectiveness of each exergaming system to isolated conventional treatment.

Design

A multicenter, assessor-blind, 24-week, randomized controlled trial.

Methods

39 patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis will be allocated to three groups. A control group will perform a conventional treatment based on daily routine activities and/or combined training, whereas the experimental groups will be randomly divided to develop an active videogame-base
