简要总结
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether tailored print material can promote physical activity and exercise, and subsequently improve quality of life and fitness levels among people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Research suggests that routine physical activity is beneficial in people with mild to moderate MS. However, people with MS may face many barriers for engaging in regular physical activity. Prescribing a home exercise program and receiving tailored motivational print material may help people engage in physical activity. Thus, the investigators hope to figure out whether tailored print material can be used as strategy to promote physical activity and improve physical function in people with MS.
详细描述
The objective of the proposed study is to further our understanding of methods to promote physical activity (PA) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of a print-based multifaceted intervention that consists of prescribing an exercise program and teaching self-management strategies.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes From Baseline in Physical Activity Behavior
时间窗: Each subject will be given the questionnaire at 3 points during the study, at baseline, interim test (an average of 12 weeks from baseline) and at posttest (an average of 24 weeks from baseline).
Physical activity behavior will be measured with the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire. The Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire calculates total weekly leisure activity by summing the products of separate intensities. Weekly leisure activity score = (9 x time/week) + (5 x times/week) + (3 x times/week) for strenuous, moderate and light activities, respectively. The scale is summed to equal the Total Units Mean. With this scale, higher numbers are considered to be the better outcome as it indicates more physical activity.
次要结局
- Changes From Baseline in Quality of Life(Each patient will be given the assessment at 3 points during the study, at baseline, interim test (an average of 12 weeks from baseline) and at posttest (an average of 24 weeks from baseline).)
- Changes From Baseline in Physical Fitness(Each patient will be given the assessment at 3 points during the study, at baseline, interim test (an average of 12 weeks from baseline) and at posttest (an average of 24 weeks from baseline).)
