Simple ladder and tap tests could spot early MS mobility changes
NCT ID NCT07505355
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two new tests—a walking adaptability ladder test and a foot tap test—to see if they can detect subtle walking and movement problems in people with mild multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will compare results from 100 participants (people with mild MS and healthy volunteers) to see if these tests are reliable and valid. The goal is to find better ways to catch early mobility changes that standard tests might miss.
