Evaluation of MoveSmart MS - an online structured exercise, Social Cognitive Theory-based behavioural coaching and peer support programme - on anxiety in multiple sclerosis
Participation in a physiotherapist-led structured exercise programme resulted in significant improvements in anxiety, in part through reducing the impact of physical MS symptoms. Qualitative results suggest that peer support and goal-related coaching may have contributed to reductions in anxiety.
