Motor Learning of Fall Resistant Skills Through Slip and Trip Exposure in Multiple Sclerosis

NCT06919900 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 64

Last updated 2025-12-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary purpose of this interventional study is to examine the overall motor learning capacity from exposure to repeated perturbations among ambulatory people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This project will advance our understanding of learning new motor skills from exposure to external perturbations. If it is proven that people with MS can learn motor skills from perturbation training, the findings from this study will pave a theoretical foundation for applying perturbation training as a promising fall prevention intervention for people with MS.

Conditions

  • Multiple Sclerosis (Relapsing Remitting)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Perturbation Training

Unexpected slips blended with trips and unperturbed walking trials on a treadmill. A safety harness will be worn at all times.

BEHAVIORAL

Treadmill Walking

Treadmill walking for the same amount of time as the training group without perturbation. A safety harness will be worn at all times.
