People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have significantly lower bone density and muscle strength due to reduced physical activity, lack of mobility, vitamin D deficiency and long-term use of corticosteroids. This may lead to a higher risk of osteoporosis and associated falls and physical injuries (e.g., fractures, bone bruising).
This study examines the effectiveness, acceptability and feasibility of ONERO™: a supervised, High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training (HiRIT) program that may improve bone health and muscle strength in people with MS.
This study is a collaboration between Deakin University, Monash University, Griffith University, Edith Cowan University, Perron Institute and The Bone Clinic and is supported by a MRFF (NHMRC) – Clinician Researchers Initiative: Applied Research in Health Grant.
