Do you fatigue easily during exercise? Up to 80% of people with MS experience fatigue, and half of those affected by fatigue report challenges when performing work, exercise, and activities of daily living.

Researchers at Griffith University are examining why people with MS fatigue more during exercise than people without MS. We are investigating the function of neural pathways in people with MS during a simple thumb contraction during one visit to the Neural Control of Movement Laboratory. We are hoping that these findings will help us better understand the fatigue characteristics in this population and allow improvement in treatments of MS that help manage and alleviate symptoms of fatigue.

All Participants will be offered a $100 Coles/Woolworths gift card for their involvement.
