Focus group discussions or individual interviews were conducted with 4 groups of healthcare providers in New Zealand: – Consultant neurologists. – Physiotherapists/physical therapists (PTs). – Occupational therapists (OTs) – MS Society support workers. Transcripts were analyzed for key meanings.

Interdisciplinary team’s recognition and understanding of complex nature of fatigue might facilitate more positive exercise experiences for this population.
