What this trial studies

This interventional study explores a virtual reality–assisted exercise program combined with standard rehabilitation for adults with multiple sclerosis. Participants with stable MS and the ability to perform moderate exercise will engage in a VR-enhanced physical therapy regimen alongside routine rehabilitation. The trial will assess outcomes related to gait, balance, cardiorespiratory fitness, and quality of life. Eligibility requires confirmed MS, age 18 or older, no relapse in the last six weeks, and capacity to consent. The study is led by the University of Vigo with collaborating hospitals and patient associations in Galicia, Spain.
