Quality of Life & Lifestyle Research

Research focused on improving the management of symptoms in MS.

Exercise in MS

Exercise can help to maintain muscle strength, mobility, manage fatigue and improve mood in MS. We gave feedback to a physiotherapy and sports science research project to develop a home-based physical activity intervention for people with moderate-to-severe MS-related disability and also helped to develop a protocol to investigate the use of an exoskeleton as an assistive device to facilitate exercise in MS.

Managing fatigue

A focus group was held to review the need for and design of a smartphone app to help self-manage fatigue. More details can be found here.
