简要总结
This study evaluates the effectiveness of personalized physical activity coaching combined with the use of a physical activity monitor to support increased levels of daily physical activity in individuals with multiple sclerosis. All five participants will receive the intervention over the four week intervention phase.
详细描述
Individuals with multiple sclerosis engage in less daily physical activity than the general population for a variety of reasons. This research project is intended to evaluate whether individualized coaching combined with the use of a Fitbit physical activity wristband monitor will improve physical activity levels in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
Following admission into the study, participants will be visited once a week for four weeks at home by a physical therapist. The participants in consultation with the physical therapist will set daily physical activity goals for the following week and the participants will be taught how to monitor their daily activity using a Fitbit physical activity wristband.
The goals of this study are to determine whether this intervention is effective in helping participants increase their levels of daily physical activity and their confidence that they can successfully engage in daily physical activity. In addition, there will be an evaluation of changes from pre-intervention to post-intervention in quality of life measures.

研究组 & 干预措施
Single Arm
All five participants in the study will receive this intervention. The participants will be visited in their homes by a physical therapist once a week. The physical therapist will use a coaching technique called motivational interviewing to help the participant develop personal physical activity goals. The participant will discuss their physical activity challenges, and with the help of the physical therapist the participant will set up personal physical activity goals for the following week. The participant will be given a wristband physical activity monitor to wear during the day for four weeks to track their progress in meeting their activity goals.
