Descripción detallada
The study addresses core elements in the health services for individuals with MS, constituting approximately 11000 in Norway. The two-armed pilot feasibility-RCT will be performed across the MS-outpatient (MS-OP) clinic, Nordland Hospital Trust, Bodø (NLSH), and in two surrounding municipalities, including 30 employed participants who will be followed for 10-weeks. The new intervention and pathway, CoreDISTparticipation, builds on GroupCoreDIST, which is previously found effective short and long term compared to standard care. CoreDISTparticipation consists of three phases: a) at the MS-OP clinic, in addition to the regular consultations, the patient will have a structured digital conversation with the MS-nurse addressing work related issues and a session with a physiotherapist exploring possibilities for change in balance and walking; b) in the municipality, a physiotherapist will continue exploration of improvements, followed by four weeks of GroupCoreDIST for 60 minutes, 2 times per week supplemented with home exercise programs focusing on balance, walking and physical activity. The participants will have access to exercise programs on videos through an open website at Nord University to digitally support home training.
To promote participation in employment, a structured digital meeting between each patient, the MS-nurse, the patient's employer, and the physiotherapist (who leads the group trainings) will take place in phase b; followed by phase c) which include four weeks of outdoor group based exercises and physical activity led by a physiotherapist, for 60 minutes, 2 times per week supplemented with the same home exercise programs as in phase b.
Evaluation of employment and physical activity will be conducted using an evaluation form.
The control group will receive usual consultations at the MS-OP clinic, as well as a session with a physiotherapist at the MS-OP clinic, exploring possibilities for change in balance and walking. In the municipality the control group will follow standard care (their usual follow-up).
The research team will examine feasibility, preliminary between-group differences regarding balance, walking, physical activity level, health related quality of life and barriers in employment, as well as the users' experiences with participation in the CoreDISTparticipation.

Experimental: CoreDISTparticipation
a) at the MS-OP clinic, in addition to the regular consultations, the patient will have a structured digital conversation with the MS-nurse addressing work related issues and a session with a physiotherapist exploring possibilities for change in balance and walking; b) in the municipality, a physiotherapist will continue exploration of improvements, followed by four weeks of GroupCoreDIST focusing on balance, walking and physical activity and conducted in groups of 3-5 individuals with MS and led by a physiotherapist. To promote participation in employment, a structured digital meeting between each patient, the MS-nurse, the patient's employer, and the physiotherapist will take place; followed by c) four weeks of outdoor group based exercises and physical activity led by a physiotherapist, complemented with an evaluation form regarding employment and physical activity. |
CoreDISTparticipation is a thorough intervention that contains coordination of services (physiotherapy, MS-nursing and work adaptations) between the MS-OP clinic and the municipality aiming to improve function, physical activity and employment in individuals with MS.

|
Comparador activo: Standard care
The control group will receive the usual consultations at the MS-OP clinic including exploration of possibilities for change in balance and walking together with physiotherapist at the MS-OP clinic.
The control group will furthermore follow standard care (their usual follow-up) in the municipality.
|
The standard care group will follow regular consultations at the MS-outpatient clinic including a session with the physiotherapist.
Furthermore, this group will follow usual care in the municipality which might include other forms of physiotherapy or physical activity.
These will be registered.
