Unravelling The Optimisation And Consolidation Of Motor Skills In People With Multiple Sclerosis With Mild to Moderate Gait Impairment: A Feasibility Study
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this feasibility study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an high-intensity task oriented circuit training program, followed by three months of telerehabilitation in people with mild to moderate Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can high-intensity task oriented circuit training improve gait and balance functional capacity? * Can telerehabilitation mantain the benefits in gait and balance gained via circuit training for a six month period? Participants will: * Complete 10 session ( one hour each, three times a week) of high-intensity task oriented circuit training administered in a hospital setting. The training will target key motor skills such as walking, stepping, supine to stand transitions and general mobility. * Engage in 3 months of asynchronous telerehabilitation (without physiotherapist supervision)
