Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to collaborate with people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) to create a video-based exercise program that incorporates music, targeting a range of disability levels.
- Conducted in Austria, the research involved 67 participants, including pwMS, healthcare professionals, and family members, who provided insights through interviews and focus groups to tailor the program to their needs.
- The results revealed four key themes—engagement, ease, autonomy, and musical meaning—and produced 148 co-created videos that are accessible online, demonstrating high relevance and usability for pwMS.
Background: Accelerometers and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are used to assess physical activity (PA) in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). So far it is unknown, however, whether these assessments represent mobility limitations in pwMS with mild and moderate to severe disability alike. The primary aim of the study was to assess the correlation between accelerometry and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) scores in pwMS with different degrees of ambulatory impairment.
