Unravelling The Optimisation And Consolidation Of Motor Skills In People With Multiple Sclerosis With Mild to Moderate Gait Impairment Via High Intensity Task Oriented Circuit Training: A Feasibility Study
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)
Inclusion: Diagnosis of primary or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis according to the McDonald criteria; Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score > 24; Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score ≤ 6.
Exclusion: Modifications in drug treatment within the last 3 months; Presence of other psychiatric or neurological disorders; Cardiopulmonary, renal, or liver diseases; Pregnancy.
