This is a tracking study that measures how your balance and walking change over time if you have multiple sclerosis or an inner ear balance disorder. Researchers will use special equipment to measure subtle changes in how your body moves and stays steady during standing and walking. The goal is to understand whether these physical changes can predict when your disease might be getting worse, and to find the safest walking speeds for you.
People with multiple sclerosis often struggle with balance and walking, but doctors don't have a precise way to measure these changes early on. This study exists to create better tools for tracking balance problems over time, so doctors can spot disease progression sooner and give patients helpful feedback about safe ways to move.

You will visit the study center several times over the course of the study. At each visit, you'll stand still and walk on level ground while special sensors measure tiny movements of your trunk and pelvis to track your balance. You'll also answer simple questionnaires about how your balance affects your daily activities. The visits are non-invasive and painless—no injections, medications, or blood tests are involved.
