Summary

In order to provide information that will improve therapy, the goals of this project are to determine if persons with MS with complaints of dizziness and at risk for falls can improve their balance and vision stability as a result of a bout of specific treatment. This project seeks to do this by conducting an experiment where people with MS are randomly assigned to a group that practices activities known to help improve inner ear function or a group that practices activities known to improve endurance and strength but that should not change inner ear function. Such a comparison will allow us to gain understanding of how the inner ear system is affected in MS and how it responds to treatment.
