Falls are a serious concern for people with multiple sclerosis. This study tests whether a special training program—where you practice responding to controlled slips and trips on a treadmill—can help your body learn to catch itself and stay upright. Researchers believe that with repeated practice, your nervous system can develop new skills to prevent real falls in daily life.
People with MS fall more often than others and have fewer effective ways to prevent falls. This research explores whether teaching your body to react quickly to sudden loss of balance through targeted practice could be a practical way to keep you safer during everyday activities.

If you join the training group, you'll start with a session on a treadmill wearing a safety harness, where you'll practice walking through controlled slips and trips mixed with normal walking. You'll also experience an unexpected slip and trip while walking on regular ground. Then you'll return for follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months, where you'll repeat these exercises. Throughout the 6 months, researchers will also track any falls or near-falls you experience in your daily life to see if the training helped.
