Summary
This study tested whether a single session of moderate cycling combined with virtual reality could improve processing speed in people with multiple sclerosis who have mild-to-moderate mobility disability. Twenty-three participants completed one bout of exercise while using different types of virtual reality. The main outcome was response time on a computerized thinking test. The study is already completed, and results will show if this simple approach can temporarily enhance cognitive function.
