Game-Inspired balance training shows promise for MS fall prevention

NCT ID NCT07331350

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a 6-week program that combines home exercises with fun, game-like balance activities (like stepping on colored circles and Twister-inspired moves) for people with multiple sclerosis. Thirty participants were split into two groups: both did home exercises, but one group also had weekly supervised balance training. Researchers measured balance, mobility, fear of falling, and walking ability before and after the program.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Combined Otago-based and game-inspired balance training program

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could offer a simple, home-based way to improve balance and reduce falls in people with multiple sclerosis.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone with MS. The program requires weekly supervised sessions, which may not be practical for all.
