Examining physical activity in patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis

Takeaway

  • Youth with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) exhibited reduced walking capacity and endurance, and less daily physical activity compared to controls.

Why this matters

  • Although youth with POMS exhibit low levels of physical disability, they tend to engage in less physical activity.

  • There is a need to understand the factors that are associated with reduced physical activity in youth with POMS.
