Summary
This study tested whether a 4-month exercise program done at home could help Hispanic/Latino adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) improve their physical function, manage symptoms, and feel better overall. Participants worked with coaches via video calls and compared results to a control group. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and effective for this community.
