First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at how different types of exercise affect the brain and body in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Twelve participants tried traditional aerobic exercise, virtual reality (VR) aerobic exercise (using the game Beat Saber), and standard exercises. Researchers measured brain activity, body temperature, fatigue, and satisfaction to see if VR exercise is safe and effective for future telerehabilitation.
