Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This project will investigate the feasibility and initial efficacy of two aerobic exercise training approaches, forced and voluntary, to improve motor function in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). We hypothesize that intensive aerobic exercise training elicits a neurorepairative and neurorestorative response on the central nervous system, which may improve motor function as it relates to gait and mobility. Should aerobic cycling, forced or voluntary, improve gait and functional mobility in persons with MS, it would serve as a new model to restoring function, rather than current models that focus on compensation.
