Study Summary
The investigators have previously shown that youth with MS are very inactive, and that vigorous physical activity is associated with higher levels of well-being and lower MS disease activity in youth. Yet, no effective physical activity interventions have been developed for youth with MS to date. The investigators have taken input from youth with MS to create a Smartphone-based app (the ATOMIC - Active Teens with Multiple Sclerosis - App) that provides tailored physical activity information and coaching, provides tools to increase social connectedness, and promotes physical activity. This proposed research will therefore address the problem of inactivity in youth with MS by studying an intervention to increase physical activity.
Primary Outcome
Accelerometry is a valid device-based physical activity measurement tool that will be used to determine physical activity. Children will be asked to wear the accelerometer daily for a week, and the investigators will analyze cases that have four or more days of data with ≥10 hours of wear time per day. The investigators will process the accelerometer data and use step counts as well as validated cut-offs to determine time spent in sedentary, light, and Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVP
