Summary

This study is being done to test the possible benefits of task-specific focused ankle training using the Ankle-Bot on subjects with Multiple Sclerosis who have "foot-drop." The study also compares the effectiveness of task-specific focused ankle training using the Ankle-Bot with conventional focused ankle therapy in improving the gait of subjects with MS.
