Dual-Task Balance Training in People With Multiple Sclerosis: a Randomized Feasibility Study

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this randomized controlled feasibility study is to assess whether a balance training program that includes dual-task exercises is feasible in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study also aims to obtain preliminary data on the effects of the training on walking under dual-task conditions and on brain activity recorded with a wearable EEG. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the training feasible in terms of recruitment, retention, adherence, data completeness, and assessment burden? * What are the preliminary effects of the training on dual-task costs during the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT), on prefrontal activation and mental workload during walking, and on clinical outcomes? Researchers will compare participants who receive the training with participants who receive no additional rehabilitation during the study period. Participants will: * receive 14 in-hospital sessions of balance and dual-task training (60 minutes, 2 sessions per week, about 7 weeks) if allocated to the intervention group, or no new rehabilitation if allocated to the control group; * perform a dual-task walking assessment (TUG, 2MWT, backward digit span) while wearing an 8-channel wearable EEG headset and 3 inertial sensors, before (T0) and after (T1) the study period; * complete clinical scales and questionnaires on balance, gait, cognition, fatigue, mood, pain, and quality of life.
