About this trial
In the sponsor's words
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) need exercise training programs throughout their life in order to prevent secondary complications of the disease. Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) forced people with chronic disorders to stay at home in order to prevent the transmission of the virus. Therefore, people with MS now are facing a new challenge in going outside their home to perform their rehabilitation sessions. One of the solutions to keep them exercising is a home-based exercise program and one of the home exercise programs that are well validated in older adults is the Otago exercise program (OEP). Investigators suggest that the balance would improve and fall incidences would reduce using the OEP in people with MS compared to health awareness videos only. 50 participants with confirmed diagnosis of MS will be recruited in both groups. Using a randomized controlled trial this study aims to examine the effectiveness of the OEP compared to a control group that gets health awareness videos only on falls and falls-related factors in people with MS.
