New study uses wearable tech to decode walking problems in MS
NCT ID NCT05482906
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to better understand walking difficulties in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will use a small wearable device to measure each person's unique walking pattern and compare it to MRI scans of their brain and spine. About 100 adults with MS will participate. No new treatment is being tested; the goal is to learn how walking problems relate to visible damage on MRI.
