Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory, neurodegenerative autoimmune disease caused by myelin loss in the central nervous system, which leads to motor and non-motor problems. The main objective of this study was explore whether an immersive virtual reality (IVR) exercise programme would be feasible as form physical therapy for people with MS (pwMS). Methods: 18 participants (13 women; 45.06 years) were assigned experimental group (EG, n = 8) control (CG, 10). EG took part twice-weekly IVR exergame programme—ExeRVIEM programme. A randomised, single-blind clinical trial conducted registered clinicaltrials (NCT05870254). Results: intervention safe. completed no adverse effects (no symptoms on Simulator Sickness Questionnaire), high usability (System Usability Scale 90.31%), outstandingly positive post-game experiences (Game Experience Questionnaire 3.10/4). In addition, GE significantly improved several their functional capacities: increased lower limb strength (Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test p 0.042), mobility, reduced fall risk (Timed Up Go Test-simple 0.009; Timed Test-cognitive 0.003). There statistically significant differences between groups. Conclusions: findings support that use exergames pwMS Furthermore, there suggestion possible benefits participants’ abilities, all position promising tool rehabilitation pathology affecting young adults.
