About this study

In plain language

This study compares seated exercise training (SPIN) with a wellness program (WELL) for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who use a wheelchair or scooter at least half the time. It looks at changes in exercise habits, daily functioning, disability, and health.

The purpose of this study is to assess changes in the outcome of exercise behavior between the SPIN exercise-training condition and the WEllness for Longevity Living (WELL) attention/contact wellness control condition and to examine differences in exercise behavior, functioning, disability, and health between the SPIN and WELL conditions

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
