MS study probes link between core strength and daily function
NCT ID NCT07370935
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will look at how trunk (core) stability is related to balance, walking ability, arm function, and fatigue in 64 people with mild to moderate multiple sclerosis. Participants will complete a series of standard physical tests in one session, such as timed walks, balance tasks, and core endurance exercises. No treatment or intervention is given — the goal is simply to better understand these connections to guide future care.
