• Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system with no known exact cause. It has no cure.
• Cognitive processing speed (CPS) impairment is prevalent among people with MS and correlates with increased difficulties in daily living functions.
• In a recent pilot study, participants who undertook aerobic walking exercise training showed moderate CPS improvement after 16 weeks.
• The research suggests that remote exercise training may be a viable tool to improve CPS impairment in fully ambulatory people with MS.
• The study authors hope that their protocol and findings lay the framework for randomized trials with larger samples.
