简要总结
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)

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental: High Intensity Task Oriented Circuit Training + Telerehabilitation
Participants will receive 10 sessions (one hour each, three times a week) including structured exercise stations targeting key motor skills such as walking, walking adaptability, stepping and supine to stand transition.
Afterwards, participants will engage in 36 sessions (30 minutes each, three times a week) of asynchronous telerehabilitation targeting supine to stand transition, stepping and walking.
