<i>In search of the pleasure of moving</i> through bodily re-explorations and interactions with the surroundings: a qualitative study on changed perceptions of physical activity in people with mild multiple sclerosis
This study illuminates changed PA perceptions after MS diagnosis and how affect, shaped by personal, interpersonal, and environmental aspects, drive PA engagement. Moreover, it calls for early follow-up and the implementation of tailored healthcare throughout the disease course to promote PA engagement. Considering these findings, we have put forth a model aimed at fostering a nuanced comprehension of PA in pwMS with mild disabilities. Further development and exploration of this model is needed.
