Read our Multiple Sclerosis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research is exploring whether a weighted vest worn around your torso can help improve balance and how your muscles work during balance tasks. The study will compare how the weighted vest affects people with multiple sclerosis and people without the condition, measuring muscle activity and body sway under different conditions.
People with multiple sclerosis often struggle with balance and stability. This trial is investigating whether a simple, non-invasive tool like a weighted vest might help improve balance control and muscle activation, which could lead to better mobility and quality of life.

You will come for testing sessions where you'll stand in different positions—with eyes open and closed—while wearing and not wearing a weighted vest around your torso. Researchers will measure your muscle activity using sensors placed on your legs and track how much your body sways. The entire visit will take up to three hours with breaks provided as needed.
