However, the title is somewhat misleading as it mentions that a ‘novel’ physiotherapy approach is being used which is not entirely true. Previous studies have studied the benefits of physical activity (PA) for PWMS, such as the Green Prescription, which has also been mentioned by the researchers. 2. Abstract 126 An abstract is a “concise summary” of a relatively large project, and it much contain certain specific information regarding the project, such as the content, scope, objective, methodology, findings, and conclusion (Locker, 1997. Wrinkler and Metherel1, 2011). Considering that a good abstract must include the aforementioned points, it can be said that the researchers have written a good abstract and it provides concise information about each of these points. The abstract includes titles of purpose, methods, results, and conclusion. The purpose mentions the objectives of the study while clear and concise information about the method is also mentioned. The variables studied and additional variables (themes) discovered in the research are also mentioned. The future implications of the study and keywords are also present in the abstract. 3. Introduction and aims/objectives 188 According to Greenhalgh (2001), an introduction must provide complete and clear information about the research topic and build the base for research aims and hypothesis. The purpose of writing an introduction is not just to introduce the research topic and objectives but to “establishes the context of the entire research paper” and convince research questions are both relevant and interesting (Haisler, 2011, p. 40). The researchers are quick to engage the readers in the topic as they discuss the difficulties faced by people with chronic health conditions and then narrow is down to MS. The introduction is nicely built and gives maximum information in minimum word count. The rationale provided by the researchers is based on empirical evidence showing the importance of physical exercise for PWMS and its role in maintaining health and preventing disability. The study has a single research aim which is very realistic and in confirmation with the study topic. Three additional research questions are stated in the introduction, which are complementary to the research aim as they provide a deeper analysis of topic under study. 4. Literature Review The aim of a literature review is to provide a “critical account of literature in a particular area in order to demonstrates why a new research study is required” (Aveyard, 2010, p. 1). The researchers provided a detailed account of the previous studies and a total 25 studies have been used of which 2 were ten years old while the rest of the findings are quite recent. The researchers also made use of international literature from World Health Organization and the U.S. department of health and human services further validating the literature. They made it a point to include all the operational definitions of the variables being studied and have also provided an explanation of why the term “Blue Prescription” has been used for the intervention (colour of physiotherapy uniform). They have clearly explained the gap in literature, i.e. the short comings of the “Green Prescription” scheme, i.e.
