Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a group wellness intervention or individualized physical rehabilitation was more effective in improving health and physical activity in persons with multiple sclerosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Evidence from this study shows that both interventions were effective in improving health and physical activity in persons with multiple sclerosis. The results also show that participants may benefit more physically from individualized physical rehabilitation and more mentally from group wellness interventions. Interventions that combine individualized therapeutic exercise with group health education might be most effective for persons with multiple sclerosis.
