BACKGROUND: Many individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) have difficulty walking, which may prompt a physical therapy (PT) referral. Psychosocial factors, including mood, pain, and social support, may affect patients' participation and overall success in meeting PT goals; however, this has yet to be examined in MS. This study aimed to explore the associations between walking-related PT goal attainment and psychosocial factors.
METHODS: Participants (N = 41) were individuals with MS from a larger study who engaged in PT per usual care during a 2-year study window. They had at least 1 walking-related goal in their PT plan of care, which could be based on subjective (eg, Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12) or objective measurement (eg, 6-Minute Walk Test). Examined psychosocial factors included impact of pain and fatigue, depression and anxiety symptom severity, and social support. Group differences were examined using bivariate analyses.
RESULTS: Participants who met all their walking-related PT goals had lower levels of pain impact (14.15 ± 5.22 vs 19.14 ± 5.29; P = .004; d = 0.95) and symptoms of depression (5.45 ± 3.53 vs 7.71 ± 3.51; P = .046; d = 0.64) and greater social support (median: 14.00 vs 12.00; P = .019 d = 0.79).
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the potential links between psychosocial factors and the attainment of walking-related goals by individuals who have MS. Further evaluation into psychosocial impact on PT plans of care is needed to help guide targeted assessment and intervention approaches.
