Web-based physical activity intervention for people with progressive multiple sclerosis: application of consensus-based intervention development guidance.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

People with progressive multiple sclerosis (PwPMS) report that they recognise the benefits of activity on their physical and psychological health but need support to achieve their physical activity goals. We aimed to systematically develop a theoretically informed intervention that would enable PwPMS to more readily engage in regular physical activity.

Design

We used an intervention mapping approach to inform intervention development.

Setting

We conducted semistructured interviews with PwPMS and their families/carers and physiotherapists recruited from secondary care settings.

Participants

Fourteen PwPMS with an Expanded Disability Status Scale score of between 6 and 8 and 7 of their families/carers and 13 physiotherapists and 1 physiotherapy technic
