Study overview
Regular physical activity is crucial to reduce multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms and restore function. However, due to multiple barriers, 80% of adults with MS don’t get enough physical activity. This study will address some of these barriers, test the efficacy of ExerciseRX to increase activity levels, and evaluate physical activity promotion as a restorative rehabilitation strategy in adults with MS.
WHAT IS EXERCISERX?
ExerciseRx is an app that helps healthcare providers prescribe and monitor customized and safe movement goals for their patients as easily as they would prescribe medication. Developed by UW’s Medicine’s Sports Institute, the UW Computer Science and Engineering Ubicomp Lab, and UW Human Centered Design and Engineering, it bridges the gap between consumer activity tracking devices in personal smartphones and providers’ electronic health records. Patients can use ExerciseRx to track their activity and goals and receive support from their provider on their progress.
