Internet-based exercise and physical activity promotion for persons with multiple sclerosis: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We evaluated the effects of a 12-week internet-based exercise and physical activity promotion program for persons with multiple sclerosis.

Methods

We performed a multicenter, randomized, waitlist-controlled study. The intervention group (IG) received the 12-week program, followed by 12 weeks with usual care. The control group (CG) received usual care only. The main components of the 12-week program were: (1) a tailored home-based exercise prescription, (2) e-learning resources, (3) telephone and video meetings with an exercise therapist, (4) the provision of a consumer-based PA monitor. Measurements were taken at baseline, postintervention, and after 24 weeks. The primary outcome was device-measured steps/day. Other outcomes were device-measured moderate-to-vigoro
