Overview
Brief Summary
The overall purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of an advanced telerehablitation system (TRS) in persons with multiple sclerosis on mobility. The advanced telerhabilitation system is based on AI components, and delivers instant feedback to the partcipants. If the project is successful, it can help optimize exercise for those persons with multiple sclerosis who are either not able or willing to travel to a clinical setting for exericse.
