Brief Summary

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

The main aim of this study is resarch and compare the effects of supervised exercise programs and internet-based exercise programs, which have started to benefit from their effects in recent years, known for not requiring conditions such as transportation distance, cost and time, on motor disorders and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study conducting for develop a new perspective on conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices. Our study will be performed in people with MS with a high EDSS score, is seen as an important contribution for the literature.

Detailed Description

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

The groups were included in exercise programs of 16 sessions in total, twice a week for 8 weeks. Exercise programs will consist of warm-up, aerobic exercises, strengthening exercises, balance exercises, breathing exercises, cooling and relaxation exercises. Exercise programs will be created by the physiotherapist and arranged every 2 weeks according to the patients' conditions. Patients who do not participate in the program 2 times in a row will be excluded from the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group I

The treatment sessions will be terminated by performing relaxation exercises combined with stretching and breathing exercises.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Supervised Exercise Program Group

Intervention Type OTHER

The exercise programs will performed with the physiotherapist. The treatment programs of the patients will start with warm-up exercises and continue with aerobic exercises. Strengthening exercises will be performed in lying, sitting and standing positions. Body weight or free weight will be used for strengthening exercises. Balance exercises will be performed in sitting and standing positions and will be performed with or without support according to the patients conditions. The treatment sessions will be terminated by performing relaxation exercises combined with stretching and breathing exercises.

Group II

Patients who are in the internet-based exercise program group will register cite ''https://www.telenororehab.com /'' which is web- based physiotherapy program for exercises.

Group Type OTHER

Internet Based Exercise Program Group

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients who are in the internet-based exercise program group will register cite ''https://www.telenororehab.com /'' which is web- based physiotherapy program for exercises. After the first evaluation patients will be given a username and password to log in to the system.

Before starting the exercise programs, the pages on how patients can log in to the system, how they can reach the physiotherapist through the system and how they can find individual exercise programs will be shown before the study. After logging in to their own pages, patients will be able to access video-based exercise programs that have been specially prepared for them. Patients in the Internet-based exercise program group will also be given the same exercise programs as the supervised exercise program group. The entry-exit times of patients to the system and the duration of maintaining exercise programs will be controlled from the administrator section on the system.
