Experimental group
The patients included in this group will receive an intensive intervention based on upper limbs intervention with exercises added to the usual treatment they receive.
Upper limbs intervention
An 8-week intervention with different exercises will be performed. This intervention will focus on upper limbs. The exercises will include plaster of resistance, elastic bands and other exercises.
Control group
Patients with multiple sclerosis not included in the intensive intervention. They receive the usual treatment of occupational and physical therapy.
Usual treatment
Occupational therapy and physiotherapy, twice a week, as usual.
