Exercising is a beneficial rehabilitation strategy for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Exergaming provides an alternative to traditional rehabilitation programs, increasing accessibility and adherence to home-based exercise. Augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) offer a promising solution for safer and more inclusive in-home exergaming experiences, which is important for people with MS. However, research on AR HMDs for exergaming in MS rehabilitation is still limited and evolving. It is still unclear whether these systems are suitable for supporting physical rehabilitation, particularly in managing MS at home. To investigate, we conducted an online workshop with eight multidisciplinary researchers and experts with lived experience of MS conducting research in MS and related technologies. We produced themes relating to accessibility and equipment considerations, and the importance of social interaction. We present our key findings from the workshop and offer recommendations for using AR HMD exergames in the rehabilitation of MS.
