Interventions

  • Augmented Reality Exercises — OTHER
    All participants in the experimental group will then be given a tutorial on how to perform the proposed exercises based on AR and they will be asked to familiarise themselves with the system. While the participants in the control group will be given a leaflet of physical exercises and they will be instructed by a physical therapist on the correct performance of these exercises

Study Details

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common NDD affecting young people worldwide. MS can seriously affect quality of life and hinder daily functional activities. Therefore, living with MS is a daunting task for both patients and their families. With the prediction of an increase in life expectancy, it is also expected that MS will pose major challenges to healthcare providers in the UAE and globally in terms of its clinical management and financial implications. This proposed project aims to develop structured AR scenarios that integrate dual-tasking exercises commonly used in MS physiotherapy, specifically designed to meet the needs of PwMS. The primary goal is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential benefits of these AR scenarios as a rehabilitation tool for PwMS.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Augmented Reality
    The participants in the experimental group will be asked to make 3 visits per week for a total of 18 sessions over the intervention period (6-week). Each session is expected to last between 40 minutes to one hour.
  • No Intervention: Home-based exercises
    Home exercise control group will include the same exercises as in the intervention group except that they will perform at home for the same parameters without the utility of AR.
