Brief Summary:
This study will test a new technique for improving balance while walking in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The technique focuses on having people with MS safely practice walking on simulated, uneven terrain that challenges balance and more accurately mimics walking in the community. The goal is to improve balance while walking in order to improve mobility and decrease the risk of falls. Recently, we developed a state-of-the-art treadmill system that allows us to create a challenging walking environment by placing a treadmill onto a motion base. We are able to simulate uneven terrain through movements of the walking surface while maintaining a safe walking environment. We will use this system to conduct tests of balance while walking and to train people to walk on uneven surfaces. Our objective is to evaluate the use of uneven terrain for training gait and balance in people with MS. Participants will undergo a four-week training protocol designed to disrupt and challenge balance while walking. We anticipate that training on uneven terrain will enhance gait stability, improve overall walking function and balance and increase balance confidence compared to training on a stable surface.
