Reliability and validity of the Two-minute Test for Multiple Sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple two-minute walking test is a reliable way to measure function in people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to help doctors and patients understand the true value of this quick, easy test.

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 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 tests a walking test that involves avoiding obstacles, called the Cone Evasion Walk Test, in people with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if this test is useful and safe for assessing walking and balance in MS.
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 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.
