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

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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.
