Summary
This study tested a 16-week home exercise program called SPIN for people with multiple sclerosis who use a wheelchair. Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a wellness program. Researchers checked if the program was safe, doable, and liked by participants, and also looked for improvements in symptoms and metabolic health.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe, home-based exercise option to help manage MS symptoms and improve health in wheelchair users.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires motivation and may not benefit all users.
