Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether an evidence-based exercise program delivered virtually by telephone and computer (“telerehab”) produces the same benefits for improving walking and mobility, participation, and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis when compared to delivery of the program in an exercise facility.

Recruitment for this study is now closed.
