This study tests whether doing two things at once while exercising (like walking while counting) helps teenagers with multiple sclerosis improve balance, coordination, and daily functioning. The goal is to see if this type of training is better than standard exercise for managing MS symptoms.
This study compares two types of online exercise programs—structured exercises and active video gaming—to see which is better at improving movement and quality of life for young people with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis. If you join, you will do exercise sessions from home via Zoom.
This study will test whether a simple balance test (the Dubousset Functional Test) is reliable and accurate for people with MS. If you have mild disability and can stand without help, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance, walking patterns, and movement. Researchers will use motion analysis to understand changes, which could help improve treatments.
This study looks at how MS affects the strength of your breathing muscles and leg muscles. If you join, you will have tests to measure your muscle strength, walking ability, and fatigue. This may help doctors understand how to better treat MS-related weakness.
This study tests a 12-week home-based balance training program for people with multiple sclerosis. Sessions are done online with a helper present, and the goal is to improve walking and reduce fall risk.
