This study looks at how well three different dual-task tests (doing two things at once while walking) work for people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to find reliable and valid ways to assess walking and thinking in MS.
This study checks how reliable a simple walking test (Timed Up and Go) is for people with multiple sclerosis, especially when they do another task at the same time. It aims to improve how doctors measure walking ability.
This study tests a new walking test (called the Cone Evasion Walk Test) to see how well people with MS can avoid obstacles while walking. It may help doctors better understand balance and walking difficulties in MS.
This study tests two simple walking and foot-tapping exercises to see how well they measure balance and mobility in people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to help doctors better track walking problems in MS.
This study uses special sensors to compare walking patterns in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see how MS affects walking over time, which may lead to better ways to track and treat movement problems.
This study looks at how walking fatigue and the way you walk relate to falls in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It aims to help understand and possibly prevent falls.
