Summary

Only a limited percentage of persons with MS (pwMS) participate to multidisciplinary rehabilitation because of poor support, knowledge and motivation. The investigators reasoned that pwMS should be more effectively prepared to increase their adherence. This study propose the implementation of an innovative collaborative approach, called "brief high-impact preparatory experience" (b-HIPE), inspired by an overarching model based on the interplay between competence, motivation and opportunity to increase in a short time awareness and motivation of pwMS. The aim of the study is the evaluation of its feasibility. For this pilot study the investigator chose a single-group design with repeated measurements at baseline and post intervention.
