About this trial
This study aims to advance the scientific understanding and potential future implementation of physical activity promotion by testing the efficacy of a phone-based app for increasing activity in insufficiently active patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Provider-confirmed diagnosis of MS using revised 2017 McDonald criteria
> 18+ years of age
Patient determined disease steps (PDDS) score < 3, indicating the potential for some gait disability although typically ambulates without an assistive device
Insufficiently active, defined as < 150 minutes of physical activity per week, assessed using the PAVS in the EHR in clinics as part of the routine patient intake process
Disqualifiers
Recent (past 4 weeks) or planned surgery during the study period which may impact engaging in step counts
MS relapse within the last 30 days
Plans to travel internationally during the study period, which could interfere with server uploads of mobile phone data
