Effective rehabilitation interventions and participation among people with multiple sclerosis: An overview of reviews

Anne-Mette Hedeager Momsen et al.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in individuals aged 10-65. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation, cognitive and exercise approaches, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy have strong evidence for their effectiveness in improving functioning and participation outcomes. Early initiation of vocational rehabilitation is important for improving quality of life. The rehabilitation process should be patient-centered, consider personal factors such as relationships and coping, and involve partners or close family members.

Telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden: a survey of use and perceptions among physiotherapists treating people with neurological diseases or older adults

Lucian Bezuidenhout et al.

Summary: While physiotherapists in Sweden showed interest in using ICT for rehabilitation and were willing to learn, few actually used telerehabilitation services before or during the COVID-19 pandemic. They also perceived barriers for implementation, such as patients' ability to use ICT and existing reimbursement systems within health care. Strengthening expertise regarding remote services among physiotherapists is emphasized based on these findings.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Physical Activity and Associated Technology Use in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis: An International RIMS-SIG Mobility Survey Study

Lousin Moumdjian et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical activity in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The results show a decrease in physical activity, particularly at moderate and high intensities, during the pandemic. Walking and using wearables became popular ways to stay active. The study proposes the development of interventions focused on walking programs to increase physical activity in PwMS as we transition into an endemic COVID-19 period.
