What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Home Automated Telemanagement (HAT) system (a netbook-based device with exercise instructions and monitoring)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a convenient way for people with MS to do physical therapy at home and potentially improve their balance and mobility.
What could go wrong
This was a small feasibility study with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The system requires internet access and willingness to use technology, which may limit its use.
