Brief description of study
What is the purpose of this study?
The goal of this phase I/II multicenter clinical trial is to improve walking function, dynamic stability, and community mobility in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) using a novel combination of high-intensity training and an environment that challenges dynamic balance.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - People with MS will be referred primarily by the attending rehabilitation physicians or therapy staff of the participating clinics. At the Indianapolis site, potential participants with multiple sclerosis will be referred from the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana clinical inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation centers as well as Indiana University (IU) Neurology (Dr. Mattson). Other referral sites include admissions from the St. Vincent Health System, Eskenazi (Wishard) Health Center and St. Francis/Franciscan Rehabilitation. Clinicians (Drs. Obeidat or Mattson) will prereview each individual's eligibility based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria, which will require a review of the individual's medical record. If the individual meets the inclusion/exclusion criteria contained in the medical records, the clinician or an aliated clinical research coordinator will approach the individual about possible participation in the study.
