Learning fall-resistant skills in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests if practicing slips and trips can help people with multiple sclerosis learn to prevent falls. You will be exposed to controlled slips and trips to improve your balance and walking safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a specific “training practice” can reduce falls in people with probable Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by improving safe walking and balance after doing the training.
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 tests a high-intensity treadmill walking program designed to improve walking stability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help you build safer, more confident walking, but you must meet several health and ability requirements to take part.
This trial tests a new type of balance and walking training for people with multiple sclerosis. It uses technology to help improve your stability and gait, which may help you move more safely and confidently.
This study tests a balance training program for people with MS who have mild walking and memory difficulties. It aims to improve balance and prevent falls.
This study tests two new balance-training programs for people with Multiple Sclerosis. One program combines balance exercises with mild electrical stimulation on the legs, while the other uses walking exercises on a treadmill with special visual feedback. Both aim to improve balance and help your brain make new connections.
