Weighted Torso Study for Balance in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests if adding weight to your torso affects how your muscles work during balance tests. It may help researchers understand how to improve balance for people with MS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a doctor's diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You can walk about 20 meters (roughly 20 big steps) with or without a cane or walker, and don't need to stop during that walk.
- You can sit or stand for up to 3 hours with breaks.
