@KirstieSuderman @trishmanns @FRMResearchDay @mccabe_er @gmacpurdy Thanks, Kirstie. It was not possible without the great participation of FRM grad students.
Thanks, everyone.

@alm0na_ @FRMResearchDay That sounds interesting. Is there any evidence that aerobic exercise is less or more effective to increase ROM?

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@HQPAzad @FRMResearchDay Thanks for your presentation. What is U_MARS as a criterion? Why did you use it?

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@alm0na_ @FRMResearchDay Great presentation! Did you divide the patients into two groups to compare the effects of resistance training VS aerobic training on shoulder ROM? or you just measured the ROM regardless of exercise type?

@mccabe_er @DP_Gross @FRMResearchDay It definitely plays an important role. Good point.

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@DP_Gross @mccabe_er @FRMResearchDay The environmental barriers such as lack of enough facilities in the gym for patients with disabilities may contribute to lower activity levels and higher sedentary time. Other factors such as depression and MS fatigue contribute to high sitting time and need attention in MS.

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@DP_Gross @mccabe_er @FRMResearchDay You’re totally right. The environmental factors are very important as well. Mobility disability and gait impairements can cause activity restrictions and also lead to less comfort and consequently avoidance of attending the gym or outdoor activities

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@PegahFirouzeh @FRMResearchDay The participants wore the ActivPAL at 4-time points including baseline (Week 0), mid-intervention (week 8), post-intervention (Week 16) and follow-up (Week 22). It was worn for 7 days at each time point.

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@mccabe_er @FRMResearchDay As I mentioned, by educating them about sedentary behaviour and the associated negative health outcomes, we might be able to change their beliefs and activity behaviour over time, but more research is needed to evaluate the factors affecting the long-term sustainability.

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@gmacpurdy @FRMResearchDay @trishmanns We need to educate the about what are the negative health outcomes associated with prolonged sedentary time and how beneficial the reduced sedentary time maybe for their psychological and physical health. They can stary with realistic and achievable goals and work on it over time

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@gmacpurdy @FRMResearchDay @trishmanns I think less accountability due to lack of contact with participants via phone or skype might play a role in lack of sustainability in reduction of sedentary time during the follow-up period.

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@gmacpurdy @FRMResearchDay @trishmanns Thanks, Graeme. The intervention was 15 weeks in total and the follow-up period started right after the intervention finished. The Follow-up was 7 weeks and we didn't have any contact with the patients during the follow-up period.

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@trishmanns Thanks, Trish. I appreciate all your help and support for this project.

@FRMResearchDay 2/2: The results demonstrated that the strategy of reducing sitting and increasing light-intensity activities such as slow walking may be an important step towards improving symptomatic, functional, and QOL outcomes in MS and promoting activity. #FRMResearchDay

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@FRMResearchDay 1/2: The "SitLess With MS" is a 22-week intervention program that focuses on reducing daily sedentary time and increasing the overall daily number of steps (Light-intensity physical activities) in ambulatory adults with multiple sclerosis. #FRMResearchDay

@FRMResearchDay We invite you to participate in our activity participation online survey as long as you are Canadian between 18-70: https://t.co/gzGWFE1ny7
This online survey is for Phase 1- needs assessment

[Golnoush @Goli17M]

@YellowDelly @FRMResearchDay Thanks for your great presentation. How did you choose the questionnaires to measure mental health? What were the criteria?
