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.
The VIRTUE study is testing a new virtual reality platform combined with wearable sensors to help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) train with and adapt to walking braces. The system creates realistic walking environments in a safe clinic setting while measuring how your body moves and responds. This could help you use your brace more effectively and feel more confident walking in everyday life.
Many people with MS struggle to walk and rely on braces to help them move safely. However, learning to use a brace in a traditional clinic doesn't always prepare you for real-world challenges, and doctors don't have good tools to measure your actual adaptation to the brace. This study aims to fill that gap by combining virtual reality, motion sensors, and stress measurements to give you better training and doctors better feedback.

You would visit an outpatient clinic to use the virtual reality system while wearing your prescribed walking brace and special motion sensors. The system would guide you through realistic walking scenarios—like navigating a street or climbing stairs—while measuring how your body responds and adapts. The researchers would use the feedback to help you practice and improve your walking, and to understand how comfortable and confident you feel using your brace in different situations.
