Detailed Description

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

Participants have 2-4 visits depending on program assignment. All participants will have screening/baseline and follow-up visits. Participants in the intervention program will have 2 additional visits with a group of other people with MS to view and discuss the DVDs on spasticity education and stretching for lower extremity MS spasticity and then practice the stretching exercises learned. They will be asked to track exercise electronically and on paper for 4 weeks. Participants will be compensated for participation.
