Abstract

Adherence to exercise and maintaining quality of life are primary concerns among patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This study sought to determine the effects of group-based exercise on adherence and quality of life (QOL) among individuals with MS of all ages and ability levels. The review included a variety of group exercise designs, settings, and instructors in order to identify particular components leading to positive or negative effects.
