Brief summary: During the pandemic, it is important for people who are isolated in their homes to stay inactive and exercise exercises in order to prevent their complaints from increasing due to inactivity. Individuals with multiple sclerosis are outpatient or inpatient with home exercise programs besides the rehabilitation practices. They are being monitored. It has been reported the rehabilitation of individuals is that they need to comply with their home exercise programs in order to contribute. However, very limited research studies suggest that any method can be used as home exercise has examined whether it has increased compliance with the program. However, examining the factors affecting the compliance of individuals with Multiple sclerosis to the home exercise program. The study was not found either.

Exercise through tele-rehabilitation in individuals with multiple sclerosis in previous studies where their education contributed to the physical performance of patients shown. However, these studies are based on individual neurorehabilitation models. In the literature, the use of video-based exercise training in MS patients a study showing increased performance as well as increased participation in the home program available. However, in this study, a special program was applied to the individual and it is not a respiration-based program. There is no research on web-based group activity training in the field.

Detailed description: Multiple sclerosis is chronic and improves the quality of life of the person is a neurological disease that decreases. Multiple Sclerosis in mobility and functional activities cause restrictions in social and professional life, leading to different degrees of disability. It is a disease that causes severe disability and impairs the quality of life. MS, It is one of the most common diseases that cause disability, usually between the ages of 15-50. In recent years, combating disability caused by MS is the most important and has been the main focus. Patients' life expectancy is gradually increasing, One of the important reasons for this is symptomatic treatments and modern rehabilitation. It is said to have applications.

Depression affects approximately 50% of patients with MS. The social isolation caused by quarantine may have increased depression. In MS, in combating spasticity, as well as depression and chronic fatigue, regular exercise is important.
