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.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Participants will be recruited from the University of Leon, Ponferrada and Hospital Universitario de Ponferrada El Bierzo. A total of 50 persons with MS will be recruited and divided into two subgroups based on their disability level: EDSS 0-1.5 (n=25), EDSS 2.0-3.5 (n=25). 50 healthy controls, matched for age (considering a 5-year range per subject) and sex, will be recruited for comparison.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
