Abstract
The use of physical activity practice and health-promoting activities in the everyday lives of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) has far-reaching and known benefits. This chapter outlines the inclusion of persons with disabilities within public health and health promotion efforts from an evidence-based perspective, while providing details on health-promoting programs and physical activities for individuals with MS. The chapter provides evidence and practical tips on implementing community-based physical activity and health promotion programs for individuals with MS and addresses a number of questions, such as How do I prescribe physical activity to an individual with MS? “What barriers do persons with MS face when engaging in physical activity?” “What physical activity programs and activities can be implemented in the community?” and “How can I encourage or promote physical activity in the community?” Key guidelines and evidence-based programs are highlighted.
