This study is testing a device called the Cionic Neural Sleeve, which uses gentle electrical stimulation to help muscles work better during walking. Researchers want to see if wearing this sleeve on your most affected leg, combined with a regular walking program at home, can improve your ability to walk, reduce disability, and help you stay more active. The trial lasts 12 weeks and involves wearing the device for 6 of those weeks while doing 15 minutes of walking, five days a week.
Many people with MS struggle with walking and balance, which can limit their daily activities and increase fall risk. This trial exists to find out whether this treatment can help improve mobility and quality of life in a safe and practical way.

You will be randomly assigned to start either with the walking program alone or with the walking program plus the neural sleeve device. Either way, you'll walk for 15 minutes, five days a week at home for the full 12 weeks. After 6 weeks, the groups switch — so if you started without the device, you'll wear it for the second 6 weeks, and vice versa. Researchers will measure your walking ability, balance, disability level, and quality of life through tests, physical exams, and questionnaires at different points during the study.
