Task-Specific Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 2 different types of Home Exercise Programs (HEP) on mobility in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Specifically, we will be comparing the Standard of Care (SOC) a program based on aerobic conditioning and calisthenics to a Task Specific Program (TSP). Primary Question: Will persons with who receive a Task Specific HEP have greater improvement in mobility than those who receive the SOC? Secondary question: Will a task specific HEP be as well tolerated as the SOC HEP by persons with MS
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Task Specific Home Exercise Program, Task Specific Home Exercise Program, Task Oriented Circuit Training, Home-Based Task-Oriented Program for Multiple Sclerosis?
Research shows that task-oriented training, including circuit training, can help improve motor function, walking abilities, and quality of life in people with Multiple Sclerosis. These programs are designed to be intensive and can be done at home, making them accessible and potentially beneficial for managing symptoms.12345
Is task-specific exercise safe for people with Multiple Sclerosis?
How is the Task Specific Home Exercise Program treatment different from other treatments for Multiple Sclerosis?
The Task Specific Home Exercise Program is unique because it combines supervised and home-based task-oriented circuit training, focusing on improving motor and cognitive performance through specific tasks. This approach is designed to enhance walking abilities and conditioning, offering a structured yet flexible exercise routine that can be adapted to individual needs, unlike standard treatments that may not be as personalized or task-focused.12357
