CompletedNA

Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions: Seated Physical activity INtervention for persons with MS, "SPIN" program- Intervention Condition, WEllness for Longevity Living with MS (WELL)- Control Condition

Countries: United States

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of undertaking and delivering a novel, stakeholder-informed exercise training program for wheelchair users with multiple sclerosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the study feasible as measured by participant recruitment (24 participants total), retention (80%), and safety (adverse events)? * Is the study acceptable as measured by participant satisfaction and perceptions using an evaluation survey and semi-structured interviews? * Is there significant change in following the 16-week study in metabolic health outcomes, MS symptoms, and exercise behavior change? Participants will be randomized to complete the 16-week SPIN exercise training program or WellMS attention/contact wellness program. Researchers will compare the SPIN and WellMS groups to determine if there is a significant difference in metabolic health outcomes, MS symptoms, and exercise behavior change.
