Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental intervention = training intervention (Group1)
Eight training programs will be performed addressing different key movements of the hand/arm. All training programs will be performed in sitting position. Training will be performed for 4 weeks, 5 days/week. All 8 training programs will be performed on every training day which corresponds to approximately 20min training/day.
VR-based dexterity training in MS
Training of limited manual dexterity in people with multiple sclerosis through a specially developed home-based dexterity training programm using a virtual headset
Control inervention = Sham-Intervention (Group2)
The Sham-Intervention will be the commercially available meditations App "Tripp®". During a period of four weeks, patients will perform the Sham intervention 3 times a week, each session being approximately 20 minutes.
mediation program
Sham Training is the comparator. The Sham group is performing a commercially available mediation programm TRIPP:
