Summary

The aim of our study is to compare the effects of hybrid telerehabilitation (TR)-based exercise program applied in patients with MS, only TR-based exercise program and only clinical-based exercise program on walking speed, functional capacity, peripheral muscle saturation and fatigue. Forty-five individuals with MS with EDSS scores between 0-4 will be included in the study. The patients will be randomized into three groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C. Group A- Telerehabilitation group will be included in an aerobic and strengthening exercise program over the synchronized videoconference system with the physiotherapist 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Group B- Hybrid Telerehabilitation group will be included in the same exercise program 2 days a week for 2 weeks in the clinic, and will continue remotely over the synchronized videoconference system with the physiotherapist 2 days a week for 6 weeks. In Group C-Clinical Based Rehabilitation group, the same exercise program will be applied in the clinic 2 days a week for 8 weeks. In addition to aerobic and strengthening exercises, traditional breathing exercises and energy conservation techniques will be taught to all three groups within the scope of patient education Demographic and clinical information of all patients to be included in the study will be recorded with a "Case Evaluation Form". The gait speed of the patients will be evaluated with the Timed 25-step walking test, their functional capacity with the 6-minute walking test, their Quadriceps muscle activation will be tested with the EMG muscle activation, the fatigue will be evaluated with the "Modified Fatigue Impact Scale", and the Patient Satisfaction with the "Global Rating Scale". In addition, feasibility evaluation will be made by calculating the attendance rate of the patients to the programs. All data will be evaluated by statistical analysis methods.
