Summary

This study tests whether a 6-month personalized exercise program can improve physical and cognitive function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who primarily use a wheelchair. Participants will follow a low-impact, resistance-based routine designed to build muscle without increasing fatigue or pain. The goal is to see if this approach can boost strength, walking ability, and daily function.
