Telemedicina: un facilitador para el acceso a programas de actividad física para pacientes con esclerosis múltiple en Colombia

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that damages the central nervous system, causing neurological impairment. Its impact on quality of life and medical costs is significant. Providing pharmacological treatment and promoting physical activity are essential to enhance well-being. However, in Colombia, barriers such as social inequalities and limited access to healthcare facilities hinder this. Implementing physical activity and rehabilitation programs via telemedicine could overcome these barriers and benefit patients. Addressing this need is crucial to improve the health of those suffering from multiple sclerosis in Colombia.
