Sit-to-stand test for young people with multiple sclerosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study checks how well young people with multiple sclerosis can stand up from a chair, which helps measure leg strength and balance. It may show how the disease affects daily activities and guide physical therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 15 and 22 years old
- You have been diagnosed with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis
- You can walk without help or with some support (EDSS score 6 or less)

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 exercise programs for young people with MS: a structured exercise routine and an 'exergaming' program using video games that get you moving. Both aim to improve physical fitness and well-being, and you can join 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 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.
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.
