Acceptability: Number of Participants With Positive Perceptions During Semi-Structured Interview Secondary · 16-weeks

Acceptability was assessed through semi-structured interviews conducted with participants. Positive perception was defined as participants expressing favorable views or satisfaction with the intervention. Reported is the number of participants who expressed positive perceptions during the interview.

Sponsor's own description

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of undertaking and delivering a novel, stakeholder-informed exercise training program for wheelchair users with multiple sclerosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the study feasible as measured by participant recruitment (24 participants total), retention (80%), and safety (adverse events)? * Is the study acceptable as measured by participant satisfaction and perceptions using an evaluation survey and semi-structured interviews? * Is there significant change in following the 16-week study in metabolic health outcomes, MS symptoms, and exercise behavior change? Participants will be randomized to complete the 16-week SPIN exercise training program or WellMS attention/contact wellness program. Researchers will compare the SPIN and WellMS groups to determine if there is a significant difference in metabolic health outcomes, MS symptoms, and exercise behavior change.
