Abstract

People with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), no matter the severity of their ability or disability, need regular physical activities. The goal of our work is to support face-to-face sessions performed by patients one day a week at the medical center with exercises at home the rest of the week. A pilot study was conducted with a duration of two month with a tailor-made telerehabilitation tool used by 20 MS patients and 10 professionals of ADEMBI (Multiple Sclerosis Basque Foundation) association; and after that, patients and professionals were given a 10 item questionnaire with 5 response options to evaluate the usability of the system. The values of usability from the questionnaires were 71.75 and 75 over 100 point in SUS scale in patients and professionals respectively. Results demonstrate that our system is usable for both patients and professionals so now we will be able to evaluate the evolution of MS patients in a long-time period through our tool.
