“…Some of the consequences of physical activity and exercise perceived by those with MS mimic the quantitative evidence (e.g. improved aerobic capacity [23][24][25][26][27], balance [27][28][29], depression [26][27][28], muscular strength [26][27][28]30,31] and quality of life [25,26,28,[32][33][34][35]). Yet, qualitative inquiry provides an opportunity for extending our knowledge of the consequences of physical activity and exercise beyond the limitations of items on numerical scales and focal scientific outcomes by telling us, in the person's own words, about the range of perceived consequences.…”

“…In particular, aspects of the built environment, social influences, one's health condition, and cognitive and behavioral areas have been associated with physical activity and exercise behavior in qualitative and quantitative inquiry [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Yet, the uniqueness of qualitative inquiry is that much richer and more detailed accounts of these perceived determinants can be identified beyond that identified in quantitative methods.…”

Physical activity and exercise behaviour in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is subject to a number of modifiable determinants. Healthcare professionals working to promote physical activity and exercise in those with MS should choose to endorse the positive benefits of participation. Future physical activity interventions for those with MS may be improved by incorporating behavioural management strategies.

“…Patients rather need a personal coach, someone who supports and encourages them and gives advice when needed, without taking over activity choice and engagement level. 62,63 This was the rationale for the development of the Blue Prescription programme, enhancing physical activity in disabled people, in New Zealand. 63 Unfortunately, such coaching programmes are often not provided or reimbursed for patients with MS.…”

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive disease associated with a large variety of symptoms and changing patients' needs during the disease course. In order to provide appropriate care in every disease stage and let patients live their lives to the full, a multi-disciplinary approach and patient activation is needed. Objective: To summarise the multi-disciplinary perspective of MS, with focus on the organisation of a multi-disciplinary care team and possibilities to support patient activation. Methods: This review reflects the content of the presentations, audience polling results and discussions on the multi-disciplinary perspective of MS during the second Pan-European MS Multi-stakeholder Colloquium. Results: In many countries, the neurologist with or without the support of an MS nurse is responsible for the long-term care of MS patients. When needed, they should refer to other (non-)medical specialists. However, the patient should be empowered as well to manage his/her disease and to implement a physically active lifestyle in order to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. Conclusion: To create equal access to care for MS patients across Europe, evidence-based standards of care, symptom self-monitoring tools and educational programmes for patients and healthcare professionals including non-medical treatment strategies should be developed at the European level.

“…Indeed the importance of control has been previously documented in the MS literature. Smith et al (2011) found control over fatigue influenced exercise choice, while Hale et al (2012) concluded control over PA increases the likelihood of long-term PA engagement. For Norman positivity is one way to achieve a sense of control.…”

Regular physical activity (PA) is known to benefit individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) but people with MS tend to do less PA than the general population. Thought processes such as positive thinking may help to explain PA motivation among individuals with MS. The present study investigated thoughts about PA motivation in one man with MS (aged 70 years; pseudonym Norman). We asked Norman to think aloud while completing standardised measures of PA, stages of change, self-efficacy and in response to planned and spontaneous questions. The data were subjected to inductive thematic analysis and two major themes were formulated: positive thinking as Norman's way to fight against MS; and goals give a positive purpose to Norman's engagement in PA. Theme one consisted of three subthemes: coping with MS by choosing to think positively; using positivity to maintain control; and using PA to think positively. Theme two consisted of two subthemes: viewing PA as a necessity for goal achievement; and goals providing determination. Norman's case has implications for enhancing future physiotherapy interventions. In particular, addressing positive thinking and purposeful goal setting may help physiotherapists to increase PA motivation in individuals with MS and thereby encourage more regular engagement in PA.
