MS study probes link between body awareness and arm strength
NCT ID NCT07151534
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how body awareness (knowing where your body is in space), trunk (core) stability, and arm function are related in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will measure these abilities in 50 adults with MS and compare them to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these connections, which may help guide future therapy approaches.
