Hidden walking problems in MS revealed by High-Tech gait tests
NCT ID NCT07580820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how people with mild multiple sclerosis adjust their walking when faced with obstacles or sudden changes, compared to healthy adults. Researchers will use motion sensors and brain activity monitors to measure these skills. The goal is to find better ways to detect walking problems early and improve fall prevention strategies.
