Physical Telerehabilitation in Veterans With Multiple Sclerosis

Resumen breve

The primary objective of this study will be to assess the feasibility and patient acceptance of a Home Automated Telemanagement (HAT) system in multiple sclerosis patients. Our hypothesis is that home telemanagement will be effective and useful in the rehabilitation of multiple sclerosis patients. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that home telemanagement using a daily exercise diary, monitoring of compliance with a tailored exercise program and regular assessment of strength and motor functions will: 1. Be feasible and acceptable in patients with multiple sclerosis 2. Improve patient compliance with home exercise program 3. Increase patient mobility and motor functions 4. Be a feasible and effective mechanism for affecting multiple sclerosis patient self-efficacy 5. Improve quality of life
