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 study explores whether mental practice—imagining yourself walking while watching videos of people walking—can help improve walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis. Half of the participants will do these mental practice exercises and watch walking videos, while the other half will watch nature videos as a comparison. Researchers will measure changes in how you walk, your walking speed, and muscle activity before and after the program.
Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with walking and balance problems. This trial tests whether mental practice techniques could offer a non-invasive way to improve walking ability, either on their own or alongside traditional physical therapy.

You will first have your walking ability tested to establish a baseline. Then you will be randomly assigned to either watch videos of people walking and do mental imagery exercises where you imagine yourself walking, or watch nature videos. You will attend multiple sessions during this time, and researchers will measure your muscle activity and walking patterns before and after the program using special equipment.
