Designing an exercise programme for a participant with MS

Post by JFH »

Though multiple sclerosis can be a challenging health condition both physically and psychologically, research has shown that a person's level of physical fitness, psychological disposition and general quality of life can improve with regular physical activity, strength training, and flexibility exercises. As Johnson says, despite ongoing hopes for a cure for multiple sclerosis, "exercise is universally available and can be readily designed for virtually any level of neurological disability"
That's from http://www.ncpad.org/disability/fact_sh ... ction=1382. The site is itself interesting but can anyone locate a web link to the Brawner & Schairer, 2000 paper that is referenced on the Disease Pathology page?
