FlexToBa for People With Multiple Sclerosis

21 februari 2017 bijgewerkt door: Edward McAuley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Improving Functional Performance in Persons With MS Via Physical Activity DVD Intervention

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a DVD-delivered, home-based six-month physical activity intervention for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Studie Overzicht

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Persons with MS are less likely to be active than their healthy counterparts, a statistic that is compounded by the symptom manifestations of MS. However, there is increasing evidence to support the importance of physical activity in MS. Unfortunately, structured, safe, and efficacious physical activity programs that are often conducted in medical or university settings are often not accessible to many older adults with or without MS. We propose to conduct a randomized controlled pilot trial testing the efficacy of a DVD-delivered physical activity intervention which targets factors that have the potential to reduce disability in older adults with MS. This DVD-based intervention has been previously approved by the IRB at the University of Illinois for a similar study with low-active, community-dwelling older adults (IRB Protocol Number: 09765). This novel intervention provides systematic, programmatic activities with alternative versions of each exercise that allow individuals of all capabilities to complete the program successfully. It focuses on improving flexibility, strength, and balance and has been demonstrated to be feasible, well-accepted, and efficacious in a large sample of older adults without MS. Importantly, intervention resulted in clinically significant improvements in the Short Physical Performance Battery, reliable determinant of disability, institutionalization, morbidity, and mortality. If such an intervention was equally successful in older persons with MS, this could have considerable public health impact.

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Experimental: FlexToBa physical activity DVD
Participants in this arm will receive a physical activity program delivered by DVD that focuses on exercises targeting flexibility, toning and balance. These exercises will be progressive in nature throughout the six months and will also focus on modifications for all ability levels. Participants will be provided with three DVDs including: an Introduction to physical activity, Sessions 1-3, and Sessions 4-6, which they will be asked to watch and participate in over the course of six months.
Subjects will be participating in a home-based physical activity program that focuses on flexibility, toning and balance. Exercises will be progressive over the six-months and will highlight modifications for varying levels. This program will be delivered on 3 DVDs. Participants will be asked to exercise with the DVD at least three times per week.
Actieve vergelijker: Usual care-Wait list
Participants in this arm will receive a DVD that focuses on healthy aging topics but does not include physical activity. They will receive the FlexToBa DVD after the completion of the 6-month follow-up testing.
