Proprioception and muscle performance unchanged by in-home step training in multiple sclerosis: secondary outcomes analysis
The <i>smart±step</i> system did not improve proprioception or muscle performance over a 6-month intervention, compared to usual care, in people with multiple sclerosis. However, at-home interventions are cost effective and convenient, and the <i>smart±step</i> system could help maintain physical activity in an engaging way in this group.
