Walking and foot tap test in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- You must not have had an MS relapse (flare-up) in the last 30 days.
- Your disability level (EDSS score) must be between 0 and 3.5—meaning you can walk without help or with minimal aid.
- You cannot have any other neurological condition (like Parkinson's, stroke, or brain injury).
- You must not have significant memory or thinking problems that would interfere with the tests.
- You cannot have other conditions (like arthritis, injuries, or vision loss) that affect your walking.

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 people with mild multiple sclerosis (MS) adapt their walking and balance. Researchers will test your walking ability and how your body adjusts to different movements, which could help improve care for people with MS.
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 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 looks at how fatigue affects walking and balance in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Researchers will measure your walking patterns and fall risk to better understand MS-related mobility problems.
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.
