Accuracy of Motor Performance Perception in Multiple Sclerosis
Assessment of Perceptive Accuracy for Motor Performance in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of this study is to characterize perceptive abilities in PwMS compared to controls when performing prolonged functional tasks such as walking and repeated standing from a seated position. This study proposes primary and secondary research questions which will be tested in the context of two different newly designed experimental tasks and will be performed in maximum three days. The self-reported beliefs over perceptive abilities and the performance in the experimental perceptive tasks will be compared between persons with multiple sclerosis and an equally sized group of age and gender matched healthy controls. The results of this study may uncover specific deficits in the MS population and will help in defining subgroups of patients with weaker perceptive capacities to gauge their motor performance and therefore in need for tailored interventions additional to the standard practice.
